Tlie scliool is situated in a beautiCul .i;rove'., upon an 
eminence in the city, 182 feet above tide-water. For 
more than a century development has been steady 
and progress marked. Such is its high standing 
among institutions of a like character that many uni- 
versities and colleges receive students from it on eer- 
tiflcates alone. 

The educational force of an institution of this 
character is not limited to school hours; it is con-

special attention. This is a distinguished element of 
success. There is no obtrusive surveillance, but cou- 
sclentions, thoughtful regard for true character 
which outlasts everything else. The moral and social 
training of the Institution, an important matter in ed-

year by year, and our

Many persons of means 
20 to Europe and the 
Orient, and pass their 
time in visiting 
historic places, 
and the fashion- 
able resorts of 



Britain and the Continent. But much tlie larger 
'part of our people who are able to indulge in out- 
ings, " patronize home Industries." This country has 
no ancient history. We are a people of to-day, a 
people of anticipation, rather than retrospect, and 
our watering places are of comparatively recent date. 
Much the larger portion of our vacation-enjoying 
class are excursionists. Some take in the mountains ; 
many indulge in fishing and hunting, or visit the great 
natural curiosities ; the mineral springs and other 
health resorts also have a numerous clientage; but 
much the larger number, iu the dull summer season, 
visit the shore resorts. As a consequence, the North- 
ern Atlantic coast, from New Jersey to Nova Scotia, 
is dotted with bathing beaches, summer hotels, villas 
and cottages. These resorts are of all grades, fron» 
fashionable Newport, to a plain, unpretentious cot- 
tage, where plain people can wear their old clothes, if 
they so prefer, and where they can get ■' home fare"

CAPE MAY. — The summer shore resorts of the At- 
lantic coast may be considered as beginning at Cape 
Ma)', the southern point ou the New Jersey coast, 
fronting the Atlantic, at the entrance of Delaware 
Bay. Cape May is one of the oldest and most cele- 
brated of American watering places. Fifty years ago 
it was probably the most popular one in the country. 
It was then the favorite watering place of Philadel- 
phia, and it dates its origin from the time when 
Philadelphia was the lluest and most populous city in 
the United States. 
Before the war this 
resort was mucli 
frequented by pei - 
pie of means from 
the South and 
West. Since then 
it has had to yield 
precedence to 
younger and cheap- 
er rivaT.<< in nearer 
proximity to the 
large cities. It is 
eighty-one miles 
from Philadelphia, 
by the West Jersey 
Railroad, and in 
the season, excur- 
sion steamers ply 
between it and the 
Quaker City at fre- 
quent intervals. Its 
beach, which is flv. 
miles long, slopes 
gradually , and. 
being covered with 
a fine white sand, 
forms a delightful 
promenade anil 
drive when the tidr 
is out. As a bath 
ing beach it is un- 
surpassed. The 
surf is especially 
fine, and it is 
claimed that the 
water is less chilly 
than elsewhere on 
the coast. A long 

promenade extends along the water front, and it is 
generally thronged in the forenoon and late in the 
afternoon. 

The place has a resident population of about 2,500, 
and is an incorporated city. It has several hotels, 
some of which are large and elegant. The hotels and 
cottages are built on a small piece of land, only about 
250 acres in extent, known as Cape Island. It was 
formerly separated from the main land l)y a small 
creek. 

A favorite drive l)y Cajie May habitues is from 



Poverty Beach u> Di.iniuud Beach, a distance of ten 
miles. Other near-by resorts on the coast are Cape 
May Point, Sewell's Point and Schellinger's Landing. 
They are easily reached by steam and street cars from 
Cape May. Inland points of attraction are Holly 
Beach. Wildwood, Angh'sia and Cold Spring. 

The hotels charge from .?3 to $i a day. and good 
board can be oljtained in boarding houses for from 
$10 to .$18 a week. 

ATLANTIC CITY, which contained only about half a 
dozen houses forty years ago, when the railroad con- 
necting it with Philadelphia was opened, is now a 
flourishing city of about 15,000 inhabitants. Lying 
considerably nearer 
Philadelphia than 
Cape May, it has 
outstripped its old 
rival as a popular 
resort, and is now 
the favorite water- 
ing place of the 
Quaker City. It is 
reached by the 
Camden and .Atlan- 
tic City Railroad, 
and by the Atlantic 
City division of 
t h e Philadelphia 
and Reading Rail- 
road. The hotels 
and larger cottages 
are built upon an 
island, just off 
from the main land, 
from which it is 
separated by wide- 
st retching salt 
marshes, which are 
Relieved to add to 
the healthfuluess 
of the place. The 
l)each is one of the 
finest on the coast, 
and at the regular 
l)athing hour — 1 1 
o'clock — it presents 
an attractive and 
enlivening scene. 
Boating and Ashing 
the vicinity are 
favorite pastimes, 
and some famous 
hunting grounds are in close proximity to the city, 
while Barnegat, Wareton, West Creek and Tuckerton 
are easy of access. A short distance north is the 
beautiful but ill-omened Brigantine Beacli, called by 
sailors " the graveyard." 

Near by, also, is the famous Long Beach. The 
hotels at Atlantic City charge .$3 a day atid upward, 
but, as is usually the case at popular shore resorts, 
people who desire to economize can get good accom- 
modations Ijy the week at Ijoarding houses at much 
lower prices. 







THE JERSEY SHORE. 



BAY HEAD is a small summer resort, about raid- 
Tvay between Baniegat and Sandy Hook lights, wliicli 
is noted for recent shipwrecl^s -which have occurred 
upon its beach. It has a curious breed of Manx eats, 
without tails, which sprang from two cats which 
came ashore in a wreck. The place has three larse 
summer hotels. 

BRIELLE is a handsome little watering place, near 
the mouth of the Manasquan River, oSJ miles from 
New York. The river here forms a cove, known as 
the " Glimmerglass." During recent years a settle- 
ment of pretty cottages has been established here, 
and it is constantly growing. Broad, well-kept 
streets are a feature of the place. All the river 
pleasures and sports are available to sojourners. The 
Brielle House, a thoroughly modern and well-ap- 
pointed hotel, stands within a stone's throw of the 
cozy railroad station. 



and Long Branch pass the doors. The rates of this 
model hotel are moderate, and may be had on applica- 
tion to the proprietor, Mr. Wesley M. Niblock. 

POINT PLEASANT, a mile and a-half below Brielle, 
has been patronized for a century and a-half as a sum- 
mer resort, and claims to be the coolest place on the 
coast. Manasquan, another near-by resort on the 
Manasquan River, is growing in the estimation of the 
public as a summer resort. 

SPRING LAKE, 56 miles from New York, is one of 
the most fashionable resorts on the coast. It has tw o 
large hotels and many cottages. Sea Girt, a mile 
away, and connected with Spring Lake by a broad, 
hard roadway, is a resort f a high order, which has 
many beautiful natural features. 

Como and Lake Como, Belmar, Avon, Shark River 
and Silver Lake are attractive watering places of in 
creasing importance.

BRIELLE INN, formerly known as the Carteret Arms, 
h.is been thoroughly renovated this season, and under 
a new management will be open from Juue I to Octo- 
ber 1. This house is situated in the garden of New 
Jersey and is an ideal seaside resort, combining rest 
and city comforts. The facilities for either surf or 
still-water Imthing are excellent, as it is near a fine 
sea beach, while in front and rear are river and inlets, 
and beautiful Glimmerglass Lake touches the grounds, 
The cuisine is in charge of a former chef of Pel- 
monicos and the dining-room, which, with the parlor, 
are furnished with open fires for cool and damp 
weather, faces the ocean and Glimmerglass Lake. The 
house is provided with gas, closets, baths, electric 
bells and good water, and the sleeping rooms, as well 
as the parlors, are large and airy. The railroad 
station is but two minutes" walk from the door«, and 
fifty trains from New York, Philadelphia. Sandy Hook 



ASBURY PARK.— Infrequent visitors to Jersey 
shore resorts will be surprised at the rapid growth of 
Asbury Park in prosperity and popularity. The fame 
of its beauties and attractions is becoming world- 
wide. It lies on the coast, 20 miles south of Sandy 
Hook. Wesley Lake, a tranquil sheet of water al- 
ways alive with rowboats, marks its southern bound- 
ary and separates it from Ocean Grove. On the east 
is the broad Atlantic and on the north, beautiful Deal 
Lake. It has a resident population of 6,000 and a 
summer one of 7 ;,000. It supjiorts three daily news- 
papers, has 300 hotels and boarding houses, electric 
lights, an electric railway, artesian water works, 
good sewers and well-kept streets. The visitor here 
is affordod every healthful attraction and amuse- 
ment found at a large and growing summer place 
but he will miss mosquitoes, saloons and gambling 
houses. 



THE JERSEY SHORE. 




Atlantic Avenue, Atlantic City, N. J. 



OCEAN GROVE the great Methodist camp-meeting 
ground, is next door neighbor to Asbury Park, and 
may be included among its features. The " Ocean 
Grove Camp Meeting Association of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church " owns 2CG acres of land here, and 
holds a continuous camp-meeting from .July 1 to Sep- 
tember 15. Its great tabernacle will hold 15,o00 per- 
sons. 

THE HOTEL SPRAY VIEW is situated at the corner of 
Sea View, Ocean and Spray Avenues, and is the near- 
est bouse to the surf bathing grounds, with views of 
ocean and lake from 
all the rooms. The 
hotel, which is kept in 
first-class style, has 
connected with it the 
very best cooks ami 
waiters. Its table is 
supplied with all that 
i s seasouable. The 
dining-room has l)een 
jironounced the cool- 
est on the front. Fine 
lawns, large parlors, 
smoking and readiuu 
rooms. This hotel, 
which has been en- 
larged, will accommo- 
date 200 guests. It is 
the largest on the 

front, and is perfect in its system of ventilation and 
sewerage. Its situation is all that can be desired. Fine 
views of Ocean Avenue, Wesley Lake, the ocean and 
bathing grounds. It has piazzas on each story, with 
views of Ocean Grove and Asbury Park. In addition 
to these attractions, the hotel has three fronts. Spray, 
Sea View and Ocean Avenues, so that it can be readily 
seen that its situation is admirable. Splendid boat- 
ing and fishing on the lakes. Boats and yachts are in 
waiting to take parlies ocean fishing. There are fine 
roads and drives which extend for miles in sight of 




the ocean and watering places. An abundant supply 
of cold spring water on the premises. Special rates 
to families, on application to Joseph White, Proprie- 
tor. Address post-office box 2057, Ocean Grove, N. J. 
NORTH ASBURY PARK and Wauaraassa are attrac- 
tive little suburbs of Asbury Park. Sunset Lake, east 
of North Asbury Park station, is dotted with islands 
and surrounded by beautiful cottages. Loch Arbour, 
on the shore of Deal Lake, opposite North Asbury 
Park, has a fine surf bathing beach. 
LONG BRANCH conies within the New York orbit 
rather than that of 
Philadelphia, although 
visitors from the lat- 
ter city are nnmerous. 
It is an old w.atering 
place, but the era of 
its prosperity dates 
from since the close 
of the Rebellion. It is 
easy of access from 
N'ew York, and it has 
lieen a favorite resort 
fur all classes. The 
nkl village lies back 
from the shore about 
half a mile, but the 
hotels and cottages 
are situated on a broad 
plateau about 20 feet 
above the sea. The bathing beach is unsurpassed. 
The usual time for entering the water is just before 
high tide, at which time Hags are displayed at the 
leading hotels. Boats are stationed just outside of 
the surf line as a precaution in case venturesome 
bathers should be caught in the undertow. 

Long Branch can be reached from New York by two 
routes — by rail over the New York and Long Branch 
Railroad, and by steamer, from Pier 8 to Sandy Hook, 
and thence by the Sandy Hook division of the Jersey 
Central Railroad, a distance of eleven miles. The

steamers leave four times a clay. The hotels charge 
from S3 to §5 a clay. The drives hi the vicinity of 
Long Branch are very attractive. Pleasure Bay, a 
favorite resort for picnics, is only one mile distant. 
The Monmouth Park Race Course is only four miles 
away. This is the track where Salvator, in 1S90, ran 
a mile in 1 : 35J, the fastest time ever made ou the 
American turf. Deal, a cjuaiut old village, with a flue 
bathing beach, lies live miles south of Long Branch. 
Within easy access also is Ocean Grove, the great 
Methodist camp meeting ground. Shark River, just 
south of Deal, is a favorite place for picnickers. An 
object of interest, also, to visitors to Long Branch is 
Elberon Cottage, where the lamented Garfield died. 

THE WEST END HOTEL, at Long Branch, is one 
of the largest summer hostleries on the Atlantic 
coast. It is delightfully located on a blufl" about forty 
feet above tide water, is within 200 feet of the beach, 
and commands au uninterrupted view of the ocean 
from all points. The hotel, with its cottages, has ac- 
commodations for over 1000 guests, and is fitted 
with all modern conveniences. Cool sea breezes 
constantly blow, and there are no mosquitoes or ma- 
laria. All routes and trains land passengers at the 
West End station, 300 yards back of the hotel, where 
stages meet the trains. The proprietor is Mr. D. M. 
Hildreth. 

SEABRIGHT, a queen among Jersey shore resorts, 
occupies an elegant site ou the ocean at the mouth of 
the Shrewsbury River. It has elegant hotels and cot- 
tages, fine gravel roads, flagged walks, a perfect sew- 



erage system, electric lights and excellent water. 
The village of Nauvoo, in this town, is the largest 
fishing place on the coast. Low Moor, which laps 
Seabright on the south, attracts many fashionable 
cottagers. Monmouth Beach, still further south is 
also a resort of people of refined and aristocratic 
tastes. Remson Beach, Xormandie, Navesink Beach 
and Highland Beach are other resorts next north of 
Seabright. 

STATEN ISLAND is naturally a part of New Jersey, 
It is separated from the Jersey shore by only a nar- 
row sound, while New York bay lies between it and 
the rest of the State of New York. It is one of 
the largest islands on our Atlantic coast. It Is 13 
miles long, from 4 to 8 miles broad, and contains 
58^ square miles, or about the same as the island 
of Nantucket. It is divided into five townships, 
the whole constituting the county of Richmond, 
with a population of 57,000 in 189'2. Its prox- 
imity to New York, and its beautiful location, 
causes it to increase rapidly in population. It is 
clotted over with villages of all sizes, from New 
Brighton, with nearly 20,000 inhabitants, down to the 
merest hamlet. The island enjoys rapid transit 
throughout its length and breadth, and at certain 
hours of the day steamers ply to and from New York 
every twenty minutes. The facilities in the w.ay of 
electric lights, water works and sewerage are excel- 
lent, and the island is considered one of the most 
salubrious localities in the country. It is one of the 
nearest and best breathing spots for the Metropolis.

RED BANK is a pretty town of 4,145 inhabitants, 
standing at the head of navi-

and Ijathing. 

MANASQUAN, on the New

sion of the Central Railroad, 
twelve and a half miles from 
Long Branch, and half a 
mile from the shore, is a 
pretty little watering place 
which attracts many visitors. 
SANDY HOOK, although 
not properly a watering 
place, is an object of inter- 
est to many. It is a low,

owned and occupied by the

NEW YORK is the great Metropolis of the West- 
ern Hemisphere. Considered iu its greatest signiti- 
cance— the city and its suburbs— it is the second city 
in size in the world. Loudon alone outranks it, and 
it is doubtful if Babylon or any of the other great 
cities of anti(iuity ever contained as many people as 
now reside in the "Greater New York." By a police 
census just completed, New York contains 1,849,000 
inhabitants within its municipal limits. Brooklyn has 
another million, and there are 200,000 more in the 
other municipalities which go to make up the pro- 
posed Greater New York. Adding the overflow of 
the city iu Jersey City, Hoboken, and other Jersey 
places, and the total would be raised to nearly three 
and a half millions. These millions are made up of 
all races under the sun. There are more Irish in New 
York city than iu Dublin, and few German cities 
have more Germans than it contains. Almost every 
European and Oriental race, and almost every re- 
ligious sect has its representative here. In short 
no city in the world is more cosmopolitan than is 
New York. 

It is the great business, literary and society centre 
of the country, and it is to some extent, its political 
centre also. Everything obtainable iu the world can 
be procured here; everything movable can be seen 
here. It follows, therefore, that New York is the 
most interesting point in the country. Hence at all 
times— in winter and in summer, in spring and in 
autumn — llie metropolis is thronged with visitors. 
The great watering places have their seasons of ac- 
tivity and of dullness. New York is always alive with 
its own people and with strangers. It has the tallest 
buildings in the country, and it is rich with historical 
mementos. Trinity Church, the Metropolitan Mu- 
seum of Art, Castle Garden, the Tombs, the Statue of 
Liberty, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge and Grant's 
tomb, are among the most conspicuous objects of 
interest which every stranger must see. There are 
over fifty theaters, opera houses and music halls. 



numerous art galleries and libraries, and almost 
everything— good, bad and indifferent— to interest the 
visitors. 

The elevated, electric and cable railway lines cover 
the city and suburbs in all directions, and the ferries 
reach to every suburb which can be approached by 
water, .iniong the principal ferries are those running 
to Brooklyn, Long Island City, Staten Island, Jersey 
City, Hoboken, Blackwell's, Randall's and Ward's 
Islands. Excursion steamers also run to the countless 
pleasure resorts which line the water front in the 
vicinity of the city in all directions. One of the most 
popular of these at the present time is Glen Island in 
Long Island Sound, near New Rochelle. Steamers 
and sailboats can also be taken at any time to visit the 
Government forts. Governor's, Bedloe's and Ellis 
Island, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. 

Several of the near-by resorts in the vicinity of 
Brooklyn are reached by the elevated and surface rail 
ways. Brooklyn itself is an interesting city. It has 
many historic relics, and its great Park (Prospect) is 
one of the most lieautiful in the country. The Long 
Island Kailroad, with its several branches, reaches all 
important p.>ints on Long Island, as far as Greenport 
and Sag Harbor. 

Long Island contains about a million and a quarter 
of people, most of whom are concentrated in the two 
counties of Kings and Queens, within suburban dis- 
tance. But Suffolk, the remaining county, which 
spreads over two-thirds of its area, is also adding 
rapidly to its population. In fact the healthful and 
pleasant situation of the island makes nearly every 
section of its territory attractive to both permanent 
and transient residents. 

CONEY ISLAND probal)ly has a larger summer pa- 
tronage than any other group of shore resorts of equal 
extent on the continent. It is within a few minutes' 
ride of New York by either rail or boat, and it is pa- 
tronized by rich and poor alike. A little more than 
twenty years ago it was the resort of the roughs and 
criminals of both sexes, but in 1874, through the 
energy of a Brooklyn capitalist, who built a first rate 
railroad thither, and established a large modern hotel 
and excursion pavilion at the terminus thereof, it was 
brought to the notice of respectable people. Since 
then seven steam roads and as many steamboat lines 
have been established, and all are now taxed to their 
utmost to accommodate the public. 

West Brighton Beach, or Coney Island proper, is 
first reached. It has elegant promenades, and innu- 
merable hotels, dining saloons, dancing pavilions, con- 
cert halls, etc.. and two thousand Ijathing houses.

A half mile walk or drive along: a line ocean-shore 
boulevard, brings one to West Brighton, the sninmer 
home of Brooklyn. In one of its hotels alone two 
thousand guests can be accommodated at its tallies. 

A quarter of a mile beyond Brighton is Manhattan 
Beach, which is laid out and conducted in magniScent 
style. This is the favorite summer home of New 
York. There are twenty-seven hundred bathing 
houses upon its beach, and it is no uncommon thing 
on a fine summer afternoon to see 100,000 people 
there. Sousa's celebrated b.and has been engaged to 
give daily concerts there during the present season. 

SOUTH COAST— Other nearby shore resorts be- 
tween Manhattan Beach and Point Lookout, on the 



the Great South Bay region, the most prominent 
places are Babylon, forty miles from New York, a 
fashionable resort; Fire Island, Bayshore, Islip, Oalv- 
dale, Sayville, Bayport, Patchogue, Bellport, Brook- 
haven, Mastic and South Haven. 

Moriches, on East Bay, which lies just east of Great 
South Bay, is a pleasant resort which is thronged 
with visitors every season. Eastport, Speonk and 
Westhampton are also attractive resorts; Quogue, 
just beyond the latter, was a favorite fishing place for 
I)e Witt Clinton and Daniel Webster. Good Ground, 
Pon(iuogue and Canoe Place are next in order. The 
latter place has been an attractive point for sportsmen 
for more than a hundred years. Across the canal

Far Rockaway, Bayswater, Lawrence Beach, West- 
ville, Feriihurst, Ccdarhurst, Woodslnirgh and Long 
Beach. Before Long Branch could claim any social 
consequence. Far Rockaway rivalled Cape May and 
Newport in fame. 

GREAT SOUTH BAY RESORTS.-Many interesting 
villages lie between Jamaica and the Great South Bay, 
alongside of the Montauk division of the Long Island 
Railroad. Among others may l)e mentioned Freeport, 
Randall Park, Woodcleft Park, Rockville Center, 
Oceanville, Pearsalls,.Milburn, Bellmore, Wantagli. 
Merrick, Massapequa, Seaford and Amityvilh^. In 



from Canoe Place arc the Shinuecock Hills, extending 
a distance of four miles to Southampton village. Near 
the latter is the reservation of tlie once powerful 
tribe of Shinuecock Indians, now nuniliering only 
al50ut one hundred souls. Many aboriginal relics and 
other antiquities are to l)e found in this vicinity. Be- 
yond Southampton are Watermills, Bridgehampton 
and Sag Harbor, the terminus of the Montauk iiranch 
of the Long Island Railroad. 

A hundred years ago Sag Harbor had more foreign 
commerce than New York city, and lifty years ago 
it was extensively engaged in the whaling indns- 
trv. Now, it is a nianuf;ict\irinir village and a 



LONG L-^LAND SHORE. 



Seven miles beyond Sag Harbor, by stage, is East- 
hampton, whicla was visited by Hudson before Ply- 
moutli was settled. John Howard Payne once lived 
there, and it is now the .summer home of Rev. T. 
De Witt Talmage. Two miles beyond is Amagansett, 
and nearly twenty miles east of the latter is Montauk 
Point, the extreme eastern point of Long Island. 

The main line of the Long Island Railroad passes 




through the central portion of the island, and ter- 
minates at Greenport on the Sound. This section 
contains numerous villages, most of which have their 
quotas of summer visitors, .\mong them are Mineola, 
East Williston, Westbury, HIcksville, Central Park, 
Farmingdale, West Deer Park, Deer Park, Prcnt- 
•wood. Central Islip, Waverly, Medford, Vapli:nik. 
Manor, Baiting Hollow and Riverhead. 



Near Peconic Bay, which:divides the eastern end of 
the island into two forks, are Jamesport, a popular 
summer resort, Mattituck, Peconic and Southold. The 
latter was settled in 1640, and the Congregational 
church then organized, is still alive and prosperous. 
Greenport, the terminus; of the railroad, is a smart 
village, which was formerly [extensively engaged in 
whaling. It has regular steamboat connection with 
Shelter Island and New Lon- 
don. 

SHELTER ISLAND is rapid- 
ly coming into prominence 
as a resort for summer va- 
cationists who appreciate the 
charms of scenery, the 
pleasures of bathing, sailing, 
boating and fishing and the 
healthiness of salt sea 
breezes, without the clatter, 
noise and lond display of 
the 1 places which receive 
tlie daily and hourly unload- 
ing of the big cities. It was 
first settled more than two 
and a half centuries ago, by 
Quakers, who were fleeing 
from the persecution of the 
New England Puritans. The 
island has thirty miles of 
excellent roads, which are 
much used by visitors for 
driving and horse back 
riding. Fine hotels, board- 
ing houses and cottages for 
the accommodation of visit- 
ors are scattered over the 
island. 

Gardiner's Island, east of 
Shelter Island, also has its 
favorites, as has Fisher's 
Island, which is not far from 
Stonington. 

IHE PROSPECT HOUSE, 
lieautifnlly situated upon 
Shelter Island heights and 
overlooking DearingBay, is 
one of the largest and best 
appointed summer hotels on 
the eastern coast. The house 
is surrounded by beautiful 
shade trees and grassy lawns 
sloping to the water's edge, 
•' - l.'i -oi;!. and is, with the new annex, 

capable of accommodating 
liver :ii.iO guests. The rooms are ^arranged en suite, 
and are provided with Imth, electric bells and elec- 
tric lights in all rooms. 

The house and grounds^ are_ drained by a complete 
system of sewerage and the sanitary conditions have 
been pronounced perfect Ijy the highest authority. 
The cuisine and service are under competent and ex- 
perienced heads and jare maintained at the highest

THE NORTH SHORE of Long Island is quite diflereut 
from the South Shore, its surface being much more 
rugged. There is but little surf, but it has many fine 
beaches, where bathing is of the still water kind. On 
the Oyster Bay branch of the Long Island railroad the 
best known resorts are Roslvn, Sea Cliff, Glen Cove 



and Oyster Bay. These places have for years been 
favorite retreats for wealthy and cultured people, and 
their praises have been well set forth in prose and 
verse, and by the artists' pencil. Roslyn was the fa- 
vorite residence of the poet Bryant, and his ashes rest 
there. The Seawanhaka Yacht Club has Its head- 
quarters at Oyster Bay. Cold Spring, on the Port 
Jefferson branch of the railroad, enjoyed more sum- 
mer travel last year than its hotels couUl accommo- 
date. Huntington boasts an old fort, the relic of 
British occupancy during the Revolution. Centreport, 
Northport — whose harbor has been likened to the Bay 
of Naples — King's Park, Stony Brook, and Setauket 
are all charming places. Fort Jett'erson, the terminus 
of the railroad, i< a ■iliip-lmililing place of considerable 
importance, anW \' uiaiiiiaius a steam ferry across the

THE HUDSON RIVER and interior attractions can 
be reached from New York city by either water or 
rail. A favorite trip is up the Hudson on one of its 
palatial steamers to Albany and Troy. Besides the 
famous Highlands and other beautiful scenery which 
delights the traveler, every mile of the route is replete 
with historical association, and is especially inter- 
esting to the student of the Revolutionary period. At

itants, situated about midway between Bridgeport and 
New Haven. It has a green half a mile long, and, 
like Xcw Have.n, Norwich and some other Connecti- 
cut towns, prides itself on the elm shade trees which 
line its streets. It has a safe harbor for vessels of 



each of which contain lofty precipices about 400 feet 
high. East Rock park contains 360 acres. 

New Haven has several local summer resorts, that 
of Savin's Rock, on the Sound, and Sachem's Wood — 
a favorite boating place— being the most popular. The 
city is a large manufacturing centre. Tlie chief pro-

here, and the city is the headquarters of the Consoli- 
dated Road, so-called, which now controls a larger 
mileaiie than any other road in New England. A 
popular >teaml«iat line between this city and New 
York make- four liip> each day.

NEW HAVEN is the largest city in Connecticut and 
the third in size in New England, if we include tlie 
town portion. The population of the city in ISDO was 
81,000 and of the whole town 86,000. Its citizens 
now claim that it has over 100,000. It is an interest- 
ing city in many waj'S. Its settlement dates from 
1637. When the two colonies of Conneelieni .nel New 
Haven were united, it was made one .if the eapiial- nf 
the consolidated State, but the u.-^ele^s dual .s\ stem 
was abolished in 1875, Hartford being then made the 
sole capital. The loss, however, was of small conse- 
quence to New Haven, as its prosperity has continued 
uninterrupted. In Yale College the place possesses 
one of the oldest and most famous colleges in the 
country. New Haven is called the " Elm City " from 
the lofty elms which line it-< streets. Like Boston, its 
finest park — the Public ilreen — is in the centre of the 
city. It contains about sixteen acres, and is bordered 
on all sides by elms. Two comparatively recent addi- 
tions to the city's park area are East and West Rock, 



Haven. Brauford Point on the peninsula of Indian 
Neck is a favorite watering place with several hotels 
and many cottages. Stony Creek, at the south-east 
corner of this town is also a seaport and a popular 
watering jilace. A cluster of beautiful islands, called 
Thimble Islands, lie scattered along between this 
place anil Imliaii Xeek, and several hotels and cot- 
taces are built upon them. 

GUILFORD is a pretty borough, built around a finely 
sliaile.l public square. It has a fine harbor, and Guil- 
ford Point, a mile south of the borough, and Sachem's 
Head, three miles away, are favorite watering places, 
with many hotels and cottages. This town was the 
birthplace and residence of Fitz Greene Halleck, the

OLD SAYBROOK, one of the oldest towns iu New 
England, lies on the Sound at the mouth of the Con- 
necticut river. A fort was built here in 1635 as a 
protection against the Indians and Dutch, and Yale 
College was founded iu this town in 1701. The shad 
fisheries of the town form an important industry.

mer resort.

and is now very popular with them. It is pleasantly 
situated in the business district, is flrst-class iu all its 
appointments, is heated by steam, and is in every re- 
spect worthy the increasing patronage that it is re- 
ceiving. 

GROTON, across the river from New London, is an 
important town. A point of interest to tourists at 
this place is the remains of old Fort Griswold, where 
157 militia under Col. Ledyard made a gallant, but 
unsuccessful defence against 800 British in 1781. After 
their surrender Ledyard was murdered by the British 
officer (a Tory) in command, and nearly all of the 
American captives were massacred. A monument has 
been erected to their memory, f lom the top of which 
a fine view of the surrounding country can be ob- 
tained. A large summer hotel, the Fort Griswold 
House, is located at themDoth of the Thames. Noank 
in this town is an Important ship-building place, and it 
has considerable summer patronage. 

MYSTIC AND WEST MYSTIC are quiet summer re- 
sorts. Fisher's Island, too, oft" the coast, has its snm- 
raer hotels and cottages. Steamers run between it 
and New Lomlun twice a day during the season. 

STONINGTON, the last town in Connecticut, is much 



resorted to during the summer months as a watering 
place. It has a capacious harbor, partly protected 
by a breakwater built by the National Government. 
Steamers of the Providence and Stonington Steam- 
ship Company run daily between this place and New 
York throughout the year, and during the winter (as 
the Providence steamers are withdrawn) the com- 
pany's passenger business is all done from this point. 

WESTERLY is the southern metropolis of Rhode 
Island. It is a smart manufacturing town of nearly 
7,000 inhabitants, besides several thousand more, who 
live jast across the narrow Pawcatuck in Connecticut 
(Stonington), whose business center is Westerly. The 
principal industry of the place is granite quarrying 
and finishing, but it also does considerable textile 
manufacturing and has several large machine shops. 

WATCH HILL in Westerly, the south-western point 
in Rhode Island, is, after Newport and Narragansett 
Pier, the most popular shore resort in the state. The 
hill is covered with hotels and is surrounded by cot- 
tages. The elevation commands a magnificent view of 
the Atlantic Ocean, Block Island, Long Island, Fishers' 
Island, the Pawcatuck River, Little Narragansett Bay, 
and extensive landscapes both in Rhode Island and 



CONNECTICUT AND KHODE ISLAND SHORES 



Conuecticut. A light-house here holds its light sixty- 
two feet above tlie sea-level. From the base of the 
hill a long and narrow strip of laud extends directly 
west for more than a mile, and then runs north for 
about a mile, terminating in Sandy Point, and at the 
elbow the outer point is linown as Napatree, the whole 
lieing nothing more than a low sand-bar, shaped as 
has ofteu been said, lilvC a sickle. This natural break- 
water encloses Little Narragansett Bay, which is an 
almost circular body of water nine miles in circum- 
ference, into which the Pawcatuck River empties. On 
the south shore of the sandy breakwater is a su- 
perb beach, where the ^vater is calm and the bathing 
safe. An electric railway from Westerly will greatly 
add to the accessibility of tliis popular watering place 
this season. 

NARRAGANSETT PIER.— Due of the best Icnown and 
most fashionable summer resorts on the Atlantic coast 
is Narragansett Pier. It is situated in the town of 
South Kingstown, R. I., near the western entrance to 
Narragansett Bay, about ten miles across the water 
from Newport in a south-westerly direction and four 
or live miles north of that dread of mariners. Point 
Judith. 

This fashionable resort may be said to consist of 
two portions. Several years ago the statement was 
true that it was a settlement of great hotels. To-day 
the hotels are still here and have increased in number, 
while "cottages" similar to those at Newport have be- 
come proportionately more numerous, and to the 
south of the original section within the past few years, 
on situations overlooking tlie rocks, an extensive line 
of elegant and expensive residences have been built. 

The main portion of Narragansett Pier lies along the 
sliorc from the bathing l)each on the north, to the 
South Pier, and consists of about a score of largo 
hotels, a huudred or more cottages, four churches, the 
post-office, a few stores, and last, but not least, the 
Casino. 

The chief attraction at the Pier is the bathing beach 
which is situated just north of tlie hotels, and extends 
about a mile in a crescent-shaped curve until it reaches 
the mouth of the Pettaquamscutt River. It is gently 
inclined, is as level as a floor, and so packed down Ijy 
tlic beating of the waves as to be extremely smooth 
and liard. Between the promenade and the edge of 
tlie water, rows of tents are pitched, and these shelters 
from tlie sun are favorite places for the on-lookers. 
The fashionable hours are at midday, when the scene 
here presented, surpasses, in the multitude and char- 
acter of the bathers, any other resort in New England. 

At the southern end of the seaward row of hotels 
are the two wharves. The magnificent rocky coast 
begins a short distance south of the landing, and con- 
tinues all the way to Point .Judith, five miles distant. 
A path leads along the upper edge of these rocks. lu 
general they shelve down into the water; but many 
project boldly into the sea, and not a few rise in steep 
clifl's bidding deflauce to the waves. The two most 
distinctive masses of rock are known respectively as 
Indian and Sunset Rocks. This walk along the clifl's 
is a favorite resort of all residents and visitors, and 



since the building of the cottages, afibrds not only 
opportunity to observe the magnificent action of the 
sea on the rocks, but also to see the beautiful and well- 
kept estates. Leading out o£ Ocean avenue at the land- 
ing is the road to Point .Judith, built in 1882, which 
follows the coast all the way. For the first half 
or three-quarters of a mile are a score or more of 
villas, all but one or two between the highway and 
the sea. 

There are many beautiful drives in the vicinity. 
The river road leads northward through a charming 
and picturesque country, past Cauonchpt, famous in 
the annals of the house of Sprague. Eight miles up 
this road is the birthplace of Gilbert Stuart, the cele- 
brated artist. Other drives in the vicinity are to Point 
Judith light-house, two roads, one by the ocean, the 
other inland, five miles south; to Sonth Ferry, five 
miles north; to Lake Worden, six miles west; to 
Ivingston, (Little Rest), five miles west; to Matunuck 
Beach, eight miles west; to "Wakefield, two miles 
nortli-west; to Peacedale, three miles north-west. 

The Pier is reached by the Narragansett Pier Rail- 
road, which connects with the main line of the New 
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad at Kingston. 

During the summer the Herman S. Caswell plies be- 
tween the Pier and Newport. Another route to New- 
port is l3y the highway to Sontli Ferry, and thence by 
the two ferries and across Conauicut Island. 

The hotels at the Pier are numerous and commodi- 
ous, and guests are courteously treated and well 
served. 

That the Pier is rapidly becoming a formidalile 
rival to Newport as a cottage summer resort is evi- 
denced by the large number of more or less preten- 
tious residences which have been erected during the 
past few years Ijy those who, having been attracted 
by the natural beauties of the place, have wearied of 
life at the hotels and have sought the independence 
and retirement only to be found in a private residence. 
Many of these are monuments to the skill and taste of 
their designers, and notable among them is the newly 
built "cottage" of Mr. F. S. Kinney, a member of 
the noted firm of ICinney Brothers, of New York and 
Richmond, and the owner of the Albermarle Hotel, 
New York city. 

Mr. Kinney has for years been an admirer of, and 
visitor at, the Pier, and has for some time been look- 
ing for an eligible site for a summer residence, this 
culrainatiug last year in the purchase of the site of 
tlie Hotel Berwick, with about four acres of ground, 
at the corner of Ocean avenue and Congdon street, 
fronting directly upon the ocean and reaching back 
nearly halfway to the new railroad station. 

The house proper (a cut of which is shown here) 
has more the appearance of a palace than of the tradi- 
tional cottage, being 88x93 feet on the ground and 
four stories in height, and of a composite style of 
architecture, the upper part being of buft" brick in the 
colonial order, while the basement, pia/.za railing and 
pillars supporting the superstructure arc of granite, 
treated in the Florentine and Grecian styles, the effect 
of the whole being harmonious and pleaslug in the

THE TOWER HILL HOTEL In the southern part 

of Rhode Island overlooking the world-famed Narra- 
gansett Pier, from the summit of Tower Hill, is the 
famous Tower Hill Hotel, wliich, with the cottages 
adjoining, make tlie embryo village of Narragansett 
Heights, that owes so much of its reputation to the 
Ondawa Spring. Its location, ou the highest ground 
at Narragansett Pier, gives it many advantages; over- 
looking the waters of Long Island Sound, around 
Point Judith, and the finest views to be had of the 
yacht races on the coast. The hotel is 150 feet above 
and one- half mile distant from the sea; and looking 
oceanward one beholds as fine a view as ever the eye 
of mortal looked upon. The eye follows the ro- 
mantic, winding road around the hill, and finally 
rests ou Canonchet, the home of 
exGo\ernoi Spiagne and the

hills is attractive as ever a drive coviltl be ; ami bevond 
Narragansett Pier lies Point Judith. la the words of 
one of the guests at the hotel "each morning, when I 
stand upon the piazza ot the hotel, and gaze upon the 
landscape I see something beautiful that I have not 
seen before." 

But the view oceanward can never be described. 
Across the bay is a fine view of Newport and .lames- 
town. To the south, Block Island and the Clay 
Banks ; and as night throws its sable shadows over 
the face of nature, the lighl s flash out from the em- 
bryo city at our feet, and thirty lights of light-houses, 
light-boats, etc., gleam through the darkness. 

The Tower Hill Hotel gives us both mountain air 
and the delights of the seaside. A gentle breeze is 
ever blowing, and the fog that sometimes lies lower 
down, seems to answer our bidding to come thus far 
and no farther, while a drive of ten minutes brings 
us to the compact part of the pier and the casino, 
with its hops and germans, and all the festivity and 
excitement of a fashionable watering place. 

The Ondawa Spring water, the finest in the coun- 
try, is exclusively used at the hotel for all purposes. 

The Tower Hill Hotel has been re-opened for the 
season of 1895 under the management of Mr. C. H. 
Friday, who has leased the property for a terra of 
years and whose personal popularity insures a large 
patronage ; a further inducement to the public being 
the comparatively low rates of $3.00 per day, and 
$10 00 and upwards per week. 

Among the other amusements are a billiard room, 
bowling alley and shooting gallery ; also l)oating, 
gunning and fishing, as a beautiful sheet of water 
known as the Pettaquamscuit River (well-knowu In 
olden times as a, harbor for vessels engaged in the 
infamous slave trade, famous now for fishing and 
crabbin;;) lies below the hill. 

All guests for the house are reciuested to get oft' at 
Wakefield depot, as there will be conveyances there 
to convey them to the hotel. 

THE MASSASOIT HOUSE is one of the most desir- 
ably located hotels at Narragansett Pier. It stands 
on high ground and is within five minutes' walk from

the railroad station and two minutes' walk of the 
bathing beach. From its rooms and piazzas excel- 
lent views of the ocean are ol)tained; some of its 
rooms overlook the casino, while from the upper 
windows wide stretches of the beautiful Narragan- 
sett country may be seen. The house is four stories 
in height, and will accommodate 130 guests. It has 
250 feet length of piazzas, and is provided with 
wrought iron fire escapes. The house is provided 
with the Graves hydraulic passenger elevator, and is 
lighted throughout by electricity, has electric bells iu 
every room, and is provided with hot and cold water 
baths. The drainage and sanitary arrangements are 
of the best. The sleeping rooms are large and ar- 
ranged for comfort, with wide airy halls, and the 
table is provided with the best the market afl'ords. 
The house has the reputation of being a well-kept 
summer home. It is under the management of John 
Babcock, who has looked after the comfort of its 
guests for the past fourteen years. There are five 
daily mails, telephone in the house, and telegraphic 
connection near at hand with all points. The terms 
are reasonal)le. Applications are promptly responded 
to by Mr. Joliu Babcock, superintendent. ■» 

THE PETTAQUAMSCUTT HOUSE is pk-asantly located 
on the Pettaiiuamscutt river, and commands unsur- 
passed views of Narragansett Pier, the broad Atlantic, 
and the surrounding country. This stream, which 
affords plenty of fishing and boating, is better known 
as Narrow river. It is an arm of the sea, and Its 
winding course gives to the House a delightful sea 
breeze from every point. The House is directly north 
from the Pier and about ten minutes' walk from the 
Beach. It is situated on a large farm, in an elevated 
situation, has the attractions of the country and sea- 
shore combined, and is a most delightful place for 
families to spend the summer. There are large grounds 
to roam over, and an orchard beside the House fur- 
nishes plenty of shade, and those seeking rest and 
recreation will here be satisfied. The House is nicely 
furnished throughout, has electric lights, hot and cold 
baths, and is connected by telephone. The sanitation 
is perfect. Over sixty guests can be accommodated.

THE ATWOOD.— This house is situated directly on 
the ocean front, only a live minutes' walk from the 
railroad station, casino and bathing beach, and from 
its piazza is obtained one of the most extensive views 
of the Atlantic Ocean to be found anywhere. 

Since last season a Graves hydraulic passenger ele- 
vator has been added to the equipment of the house, 
which is lighted by gas and electricity ; and each 
room is connected with the main office by electric 
bells. 

The house is supplied with pure water. The sani-

THE ROCKINGHAM HOUSE Fascinating Narragan- 

sett Pier, with i)re-eminently the best and safest beach 
on the coast, with facilities for bathing unsurpassed 
in the world, is fast becoming known as the most 
fashionable hotel resort on the Atlantic. 

The coming season it will undoubtedly be the "piece 
de resistence," if we may call it that, of fashion and 
society. 

The Pier's drives are most beautiful, passing through 
quaint and historic towns and villages, over rippling 
streams and brooks, by land locked lakes, through 
woodland aud meadow, at times bounded by beetling 
cliffs, rocks and crags, battling with ocean's ever- 
thundering surf ; bordered for miles in every direc- 
tion by the superb cottages and villas of the wealthy, 
the whole situated in a New England district teeming 
with tradition, romance and history. 

Situated amid such surroundings is "The Kocking- 
ham," and it is with special pleasure that we call our 
readers' attention to it, the largest, swellest and hotel 
" de par excellence " of the Pier, the Mecca of every 
mortal who wends his way Pierward, a hotel under 
probably the ablest summer-hotel management in New 
England, which has made it widely known as the 
best resort hotel in New England, and among the best 
in the country . 

In Its location it stands alone among the Pier 
hotels. On the north it overlaps the beach, its 
southern front almost touches the Casino, on the 
east it faces the Atlantic, on the west tlic rolling 
Narragausett country, and around it centers the life 
and gaiety of the Pier. 

Its interior arrangements are complete and up-to- 
date in every respect; its finish and decorations beau- 
tiful. It is certainly unsurpassed by any other resort 
hotel. 

An immense bathing pavillion is being erected on 
the lieach aud when Huished it is said that it will be 
the llnest in the world. L.juis Sherry, New York's 
foremost, if not most famous caterer, is the owner 
and manager, as he also is of the Pier's far-famed 
and ever-to-be-remembered Casino — that is by any one 
who Iris ever looked upon the beauties of tlie most 
picturesque structure ou the Atlantic coast. 



The Pier is beautiful, its drives of the finest, its 
hotels of the best, its bonifaces most genial, its na- 
tives unique, its scenery every where beautiful — in 
many places grand— its beach perfect, its guests the 
best people in America. 

Everything that can make life enjoyable aud tlwor 
living is found here. Tlie life is fascinating 

THE NARRAGANSETT HOTEL, formerly known as 
Chandlers, has been leased for a term of years by G. 
Fred Perry & Co., and having undergone a thorough 
renovation, will be conducted under the personal su- 
pervision of Mr. Perry, whose aim it will be to make 
the cuisine ai.d general service all that can be desired. 
The house will be conducted on the American plan 
with llrst-class table d'kote, while in the cafe attached, 
broiled live lobster and similar special dishes will be 
served a la carte. The natural advantages of the 
Narragansett are unequalled, situated, as it is, mid- 
way between the railroad station and Ocean avenue, 
while the casino and the bathing beach are within a 
few minutes' easy walk. Terms by the week or for 
the season, which are extremely reasonable, will be 
mailed on application. 

THE MATHEWSON.-In all the world no more exclu- 
sive society can be found than that which forms the 
summer population at the Pier, and nowhere are cre- 
dentials more carefully scrutinized than at this charm- 
ing summer resort. But it is not alone the wonderful 
natural attractions of the place that have brought 
about these conditions. The high standard maintained 
by the leading hotels have contributed largely to pro- 
duce this result, and among these the Mathewson, 
under the management of father and sons, is, and has 
always been, a recognized leader. The house in its 
enrironment possesses ad\antages to be met with 
nowhere else, overlooking as it does at once the Casino 
(Jrounds, the Ocean drive and the Ocean itself, wliile 
the bathing beach is but a very short distance, from 
the Hotel. But it is not on these alone that the repu- 
tation of tlie Mathewson has been established ; the 
principal charm of the house, and that which has 
caused representatives of the most exclusive society 
to return to its doors season after season for nearly a 
generation, lies in the service and cuisine, the latter, 
in the hands of one of the greatest of chefs being as 
near perfection as genius, experience and a liberal 
expenditure of money can achieve, while the manage- 
ment is under the personal direction of Mr. S. W. 
Matliewson & Sons, whose pride it is that no desire 
of a guest shall remain unsatisfied, and whose only 
regret is for the limited capacity of the house, which 
renders impossible the entertainment of more than a 
fraction of the desirable guests from whom applica- 
tions are received. 

BLOCK ISLAND lies out at sea twelve miles from 
the nearest point on the southern coast of Uhode 
Island, fifteen miles southwest from PoinlJudilh, and 
thirty miles from Newport. Standing out in a bold, 
clear cut mass, it is a conspicuous object from any 
elevated point on the southern coast of Rhode Island, 
or from the decks of vessels traversing the upper part 
of Long Island Sound. It is triangular in shape and

is from seven to eight miles long, by about three and 
a half in its widest part. The only harbor on the 
island is Block Island Bay, an indentation in the 
coast which affords little shelter, for, althonirh it lies 
for two miles along shore, it is not more than half a 
mile deep, and the waves continually beat on its shore 
in a moderate surf. At the extreme southern end the 
shore makes a deeper sweep, and here an artificial 
harbor has been formed Ijy the construction of a gov- 
ernment breakwater, begun in 1871, and which is now 
more than 1,500 feet iii length. This harbor is only 
available in comparatively mild weather, and not at 
all during strong northerly or easterly winds.

the Neck road leading to Sandy Point and Light, a dis- 
tance In this way of about six miles ; directly across 
the island westward, runs Main street, between three 
and four miles in length, midway passing through the 
"Center," the only other village on the island, where 
the town house and public library are located ; south- 
ward High street leads up the hills to the south-east- 
tern Ijluffs and the light-house, a distance of about two 
miles. 

The bulk of the island is in the southern part, 
where the distance across is about three and a half 
miles. From there it tapers gradually to a point at

Along the shore and on low, rolling hills facing the 
harbor, is the most considerable community on the 
island, consisting of a collection of summer hotels, 
dwellings two or three churches, and several stores 
The whole place lies fully in view from the deck of 
an approaching steamer. Extending from the steam- 
boat landing to the post-oftlce, a distance of less than 
half a mile, is a row of hotels on a low bluff, with a 
street intervening between them and its edge, while 
the shore in front is a gently shelving beach on which 
the fishermen haul up their boats. 

Beyond the post-office, which stands on a miniature 
headland, the shore curves inward and the bathing 
beach properly begins. Three main roads lead from 
the harbor village, and they, with their ramifications. 



the extreme north. Southward the land slopes grad- 
ually upward from the harbor village to a series of 
high, precipitous bluffs, rising from 100 to more than 
150 feet in height, which form the coast of the island 
on the south. The faces of these bluff's are formed of 
clay, cut up into pinnacles, headlands, precipices and 
slopes, while the shores at their base are strewn with 
boulders and rocks rounded by the continual rolling 
of the waves. The effect on approaching the cliffs is 
very unique. The greensward of the hills reaches to 
their edge, and in places the sea is not seen until the 
brink is reached, when looking sheer downward for 
nearly 200 feet, the sensation is as if one was sus- 
pended between sea and sky. On about the highest 
part of these bluffs stands a fine government light-

house, wliose lantern gleams 204 feet above the sea. 
It is one of the best equipped on the coast, was erected 
in 1874, at a cost of $75,000, and contains a Fresnel 
cylindrical lens of the first order, which cost about 
.$10,000. Almost on the edge of the bluft" near the 
light-honse are two powerful fog horns operated by 
small steam engines, which pierce the air with their 
shrill shrielis every half minute during the fogs which 
so frequently envelop the island. 

The surface of the island is almost wholly formed 
of hills and ponds. In every hollow is a sheet of 
water, ranging in size from Great Pond, midway of 
the length of the island, covering a thousand acres or 
more, to little pools a fevv feet in circumference. 
The highest land on the island is Beacon Hill, 211 feet 
above the sea level, and from its summit, not only the 
entire island its hills aud ponds can be seen but the 
sea IS Msible on all sides except ■\\lieie the blufls are 
li ,hest at the south east aud Ljng IsUnd Sound the 




If.^f'l'- 



shores of Connecticut, Rhode Island aud Long Island 
are plainly visible on clear days, the whole afl'ording 
a magnificeul prospect. The hill is about two miles 
west of the landing, 

Tlie numerous ponds and the abundant rains and 
fogs keep the island in a condition of beautiful ver- 
dure; even during the sultry summer weather its hills 
are green and pleasant. Block Island is almost with- 
out trees, although traditions say that when first dis- 
covered Ijy Europeans it was covered with forest. 
Notwithstanding the great exposure to the ocean 
breezes — in fact, Ijecause of it — the island is a delight- 
ful resort in summer. The climate is like that of 
Bermuda, the temperature rarely rising above seventy- 
five degrees, and being in the center of conflicting 
ocean currents, its atmosphere is surcharged with 
ozone and other life-giving elements. 

One of the great attractions of Block Island is the 
fishing to be enjoyed oil' its shores, or in the sur- 
rounding waters. About a lliird of the islanders are 
engaged in fisheries, and tlie cod, mackerel aud sword 



fish are those chiefly sought for commercial purposes. 
A favorite sport of summer visitors is to fish for 
t)lue-flsh from a Block Island boat in the care of a 
hardy skipper, or better still, to tlirow the line for sea 
bass from the foot of the Iilufl's on the south shore, 
^vhere frequently very good catches are made. Others, 
of the more adventurous sort, crave the privilege of 
accompanying the sword fishermen when the big fish 
are running, aud of casting the harpoon from the end 
of the boom, a sport which is sometimes more dan- 
gerous to the fisher than the fisli The ponds abound 
in fish, particularly Great Pond, and many of the 
summer visitors prefer this sport to the dangerous 
and disagreeai)le features incident to sea fishing. 

During the summer the island is reached by steam- 
ers from Newport, Providence or New London, which 
make close connection with railroads reaching these 
points. 
THE HARTFORD HOUSE is oue of the smaller houses 
where guests may enjoy all 

of the attractions of the 

"^ island with the comforts 

of a home. It is situated 
on the high ground back 
(jf the landing from which, 
as well as from the larger 
hotels, it is but a short 
Avalk; and the fact that 
some of its rooms have 
l>een occupied by the same 
guests for more tlian 
twelveconsecutive seasons 
is evidence of the popu- 
larity of the Iiouse aud its 
genial proprietor, Capt. 
George .Jelly. 

THE NORWICH HOUSE. 
— Tiiis house is situated on 
an elevation a short walk 
or drive from the landing, 
batliing beach and stores, 
is surrouuded Ijy grassy shipes and commands the 
finest possible view of the harbor and ocean aud a 
large portion of the Island with its hills and ponds. 
Its commodious rooms, which will accommodate from 
forty to fifty people, are furnished in comfortable 
style, with modern conveniences, aud the proprietor, 
Mr. James E. Rose, devotes his personal attention to 
the comfort of his guests. Owing to the elevation of 
the site, an enjoyable breeze prevails on the hottest 
days. The terms, which are moderate, will l)e 
furnislied on application. 

THE STEAMER GEO. W. DANIELSON, under com- 
mand of Capt. Geo. W. Conley, makes daily trips, 
excepting Sundays, from Newport to the Island. 

THE PALATINE LIGHT The island was formerly 

the scene of many ship-wrecks, and many are the 
weird stories of wreclvers that have been given a 
" local habitation and a name." The most famous of 
these legends is that of tlie Palatine Light, said to be 
a phantom ship, but proliably some irradiation that 
passes over the surface of the deep.

THE EUREKA HOTEL is one of the newest and best 
appointed lionses on the island and has, from its ex- 
ceptionally favored location on the high ground over- 
looking the harbor and the high class of its service, 
already become one of the most popular hotels on the 
island. 

SPRING HOUSE.— On the crest of a grass-covered 
eminence, facing the sea and overlooking the harbor, 
the village, Long Island 
Sound and the mouth of 
Narragansett Bay, is 
the well-known Spring 
House, one of the 
largest and best hotels 
on the New England 
coast. The buildings, 
accommodating 400 
guests, consists of the 
main hotel and the 
annex. The annex is 
situated only a few feet 
from the main house. 
Its rooms are models of 
convenience, and arc 
always much desired by 
those guests who wish 
very quiet and comfort- ^Hi LliuvvHi 

able apartments. A first- 
class livery staljle is maintained, and careful and intel- 
ligent drivers, well acquainted with the island and its 
striking features, can at any time be secured. Every 
facility is afforded for sailing, and for fresh and salt 
water fishing. The springs, from which the house 
takes its name, are in the hotel grounds. They furnish 
a clear, sparkling, cool water of high medicinal value, 
but without any disagreeable taste or color. The hotel 
grounds, consisting of twenty-five acres of lawn, af- 
ford unapproachable advantages as fields for athletic 
exercise and playgrounds for children. There is 



ample room for liall-playing and tenuis without en- 
croaching on the right of others. An orchestra of 
unusual merit furnishes early afternoon and evening 
concerts with all the new and popular music of the 
day. The cuisine is under the control of an experi- 
enced chef and the tables will be furnished with 
every variety of sea-food, notably blueflsh and sworil- 
fish, bass and lobster; fresh milk, vegetables and 
poultry from the island 
farms ; and meats and 
fruits from New York 
and Providence marts. 
An excellent laundry is 
connected with the 
hotel. Work will be 
done quickly and satis- 
factorily at reasonable 
prices. Spring House 
carriages will be at the 
landing on arrival of all 
steamers at Block 
Island. 

HISTORICAL.-Block 
sland was first brought 
to the notice of the New- 
England settlers l)y the 
l5i()iK Isi vsn murderof Captain John 

Oldham and his com- 
panions in Ifi.iG l)y its savage inhabitants. On that 
account expeditions were fitted out from Boston by 
which the Indian inhabitants were punished and sub- 
dued, and the island then became the possession of 
Massachusetts, but was afterwards sold to private 
parties by the colony, and finally, in 167?, was duly 
incorporated as a lihode Island town, and w-as named 
New Shoreham. The island name perpetuates the 
memory of Adrian Block, an old Dutch navigator, who 
visited it in 1614. Verazzano, the Florentine navi- 
gator and explorer, saw it in 1524.

THE WOONSOCKET HOUSE.— This house has always 
Ijeen one of the most popular of Block Island hotels, 
and increasing business has compelled the erection of 
a new and larger building, on high ground adjoining 
the original house, and to judge from present indica- 
tions, further additions will l)e necessary in the near 
future. The proprietor, Mr. A. J. Rose, gives his 
personal atten- 
tion to the en-

his guests and

as it is by green fields and pastures, and while only a 
pleasant walk from the landing and post-ollice, is suf- 
ficiently removed, to be entirely free from the noise 
and dust. Carriages are in waiting for the guests at 
the landing on arrival of the boats, and are at their 
service for drives about the island — than which none 
could be more pleasant or picturesque. The bathitrg 
beach is hut a 
short distance 
from the house 
and complete 
facilities for 
picnic and fish- 
ing parties are 
provided. The 
manager, Mr. 
E H.Day, son 
of the late pro- 
prietor, de- 
votes himself 
entirely to the 
comfort and 
]ileasure of his 
guests, and by 
Ills long expe- 



himself much 
endeared to the guests of the house, as Is shown by 
their return to enjoy its hospitality on each succes- 
sive season The house has accommodations for 
about eighty guests, and so high is its reputation, that

its rooms are usually filled early in the season, and 
tlie society to be met in its parlors is always unexcep- 
tionable. For terms, which are comparatively very 
reasonable, address the manager. 

THE SURF HOTEL — This hotel, so long and fa- 
vorably known as Surf Cottage, is under the personal 
management of Mrs. C. W. Willis, and maintains the 
popularity which it acquired during the life of Mr. 
Willis. Its finely furnished sleeping rooms, elegant 
parlors, halls and corridors, perfect toilet facilities 



on every floor, together with an une-xcel'eil tible and 
service, have contributed lo tlie conifurt and pleasuic 
of guests from nearly every state in the union, while 
the fact that the bathing bca'-Ii, witli private bath 
houses supplied with fresh and sea water, is within 
fifty feet of the house, makes it a paradise to all who 
enjoy sea bathing. Steps descend directly from thi- 
veranda to the beach, and guests can don their bath- 
ing suits in the privacy of their own apartments. A 
view of the Atlantic may !»• liad from the windows of 
every room. Fresh \ .-rtalilus, milk, Imtter and eggs 
are furnished daily Imn] the farms on the island, 
while the fish and lobsters are taken directly from the 
ocean. The rates, either for the season or for tran- 
sient accommodation, arc very reasonable, and will be 
furnished on application. 

Near the geographical centre of the island and about 
a mile and a half by road westward from the harbor 
is "The Centre," a cross-road with a few houses, a 
church, school, and the town honsc, a plain wooden 
building, which also ciintains the " Island Library." 
The road to llic Ciuln- leads through pleasant farms, 
several of wlnrli lia\.- cMonsive orchards. Excellent 
views of till' islanil's laiulscape are had, the whole 
surface Ijcing dotted with dweUin;;s, so that there are 
really no desolaie regions. Near the Centre are two 
quaint old windmills. 

Previous to the building of the breakwater visitors 
to the island had to come ashore in small boats 
tliiongh tlie surf. The native Block Islanders were 
formerly very expert boatmen, as they had to navi- 
gate their boats through the surf every time tUey en- 
tered or left the water, and they developed a type of 
boat specially adapted to this trying service. This 
boat was small and light, sharp at both ends, and of 
a pecnliar shape. 

SPECIAL TRIPS TO BLOCK ISLAND.— A fine sail can 
be had through Narranansett Bay and out to sea by 
taking a steamer of the Fall River and Providence 
Line at 9 a. m. on Tuesday or Saturday, reaching the 
island about noon in time for dinner, and returning at 
8 p. m., and getting back to the dock about 7. For a 
fine day's onting this is one of the best.

^^^B^^o HER rare natural advantages Newport 
M 1 undoubtedly owes the estimation in 

■ 1 which she is held as a place of resi- 

^^^l^V dence and a resort of fashion. Situ- 
^^Bi^ ated at the southern end of the beauti- 
ful island of Rhode Island, the city is 
at the mouth of Narragansett Bay 
and enjoys the benefit of the sea breezes, while be- 
ins at the same time protected by the neighboring- 
masses of land from their severity and strength. 
Cool and sheltered, the proud summer city overlooks 
the bay and the sea. As a result of the situation the 
climate is peculiarly equable and soft at all seasons of 
the year. 



Newport harbor has been famous since the dis- 
covery of the American continent. Nowhere on the 
Atlantic coast can a better one be found. 

The territory of Newport comprises the southern 
portiou of the island of Rhode Island, forming an 
elbow-shaped peninsula of an average width of about 
two miles, the harbor being on the inside. 

The city is really divided into two parts. All that 
section near the wharves and for some distance baclc, 
is the old and historic Newport, and is the seat of the 
business of the city. Here are still to be seen many 
old houses with gambrel roofs or projecting eaves, 
built previous to the Revolution, and most of them 
have interesting histories of old colonial days. 



NEWPORT AND NARRAGANSETT BAY 



Lying to the east and soutli of the older portion, on 
the ridge of the peninsula, on all the intersecting 
avenues, and all along the bold, picturesque coast, 
are palatial mansions known by the unpretentious 
name of " cottages," but in reality many of them pal- 
aces, rich in treasures of wealth and taste, and fitted 
up with all imaginable luxury. They are embowered 
in trees and are surrounded with pleasant lawns, 
some perched on the edge of cliffs, overlooking the 
water, and nearly all within sight and hearing of the 
ever restless ocean . 

Until about 1830, Newport was a very quiet town, 
distinguished in no marked degree from other New 
England seaports. People of means and leisure 
began to discover the advantages of the place about 
this time, and soon all available accommodations 
were required by the summer visitors who flocked 
from every section of the country. Large hotels 
were erected, the place being for many years chiefly a 
hotel resort, but little by little, through the establish- 



which is the Old Stone Mill, Newport's chief his- 
torical attraction. 

From Touro Park, for a distance of about an 
eighth of a mile, the avenue on both sides is lined 
with summer stores and a few hotels and restaurants. 
Here is the Casino, the chief of Newport summer in- 
stitutions. In the grounds, at the rear, are a theatre, 
a tennis court building and an extensive bowling alley. 

Bellevue avenue is a continuation of Touro street, 
and runs from Kay street to Bailey's Beach for two 
and a quarter miles in an almost straight line along the 
summit of the ridge of the peninsula. For the whole 
distance it is lined on both sides with the most ele- 
gant residences in the city. It is the principal 
promenade and drive of the fashionable society in the 
season, and on it at the regulation hour may be seen 
such a display of style and fashion, of wealth, ele- 
gance and beauty, as no watering place in the country 
can outrival. 

The grand drive in Newport is around Ocean ave-

ing of summer homes and the building of elaborate 
cottages, the transient and ephemeral features inci- 
dent to hotel life were eliminated, and the place rap- 
idly developed into the centre of " society " that it 
has been and is to-day. Besides its attractions of 
ocean scenery, climate, beaches, drives and the life 
and movement of society, Newport has many objects 
of Interest to the sight-seer, or the visitors, whether 
for a day or a longer period. The most noticeable 
are Washington square, on Thames street; the City 
Hall, built in 1763; the State House, erected in 1741, 
where the May sessions of the Rhode Island Legis- 
ature are held and the State orticers installed inoftlce; 
a statue of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, com- 
memorating his great victory on Lake Erie, in the 
war of 1812; the Jewish Synagogue on Touro street, 
and used as a place of worship until the Revolution : 
the Newport Historical Society's building, the Jew- 
ish Cemetery, corner of Kay and Touro streets; the 
Redwood Library, which was incorporated in 1747; 
Tonro Park, a large open space in the centre of 



nue, sometimes called the ten-mile drive, from the 
fact that the circuit from Washington square and 
return is between ten and eleven miles. Starting from 
Washington square the first portion of this drive is 
up Touro street and along the fashionable Bellevue 
avenue. From Bailey's Beach the road follows the 
indentations of the shore, aftbrding magnificent views 
of the rocky coast. In arranging the drive it is an 
easy matter to get a driver who can point out the 
difierent resideuces and places of interest. On the re- 
turn half of the circuit, very fine views of the city, 
the ocean and harbor are obtained. Other drives to 
the northward, along either shore of the island, 
through beautiful scenery, past historic places, will 
amply repay the cost of time and money. 

Two miles across the city from the steamboat 
landing is Easton's Beach, one of the chief attrac- 
tions of Newport. The beach is at the head of an 
inlet open to the ocean from the south, on which 
account there is always a good surf. It is smooth, 
wide and level, formed of fine, hard sand, and is 



NEWPORT AND NAKRAGANSETT BAY. 



nearly a mile in extent, in a straight line. On the 
west side of Easton's Beach the shore is faced with 
cliffs of broken, jagged rocks, twenty or more feet 
in height, which extend all the way round to Bailey's 
Beach, and the residences on Ochre Point, and on the 
east side of the lower part of Bellevue avenue are 
nearly all so situated as to overlook the clitt's. For 
all this distance, about three miles, a graded path, 
known as the "Clift'Walk," leads along the edge, af- 
fording magnificent views of the ocean on the one 
hand, and on the other, the linest views of the gardens 



little sheltered cove hemmed in l)y rugged rocks on 
either side. From here the graded Clitt' Walk starts, 
the other terminus being at Easton"s Beach on the 
Bath road. 

Not the least of the attractions of Newport are the 
short excursions that can be made to points in and 
about the harbor. You can go to Fort Adams, to the 
U. S. Training Ship, to .Jamestown, and if you have 
audacity and influence, to the Torpedo Station. Fort 
Adams, one of the strongest fortifications in the 
country, guards the entrance to the harbor between

and homes of the summer residents to be had in New- 
port. 

Beyond Easton's Beach, and separated from it by the 
peninsula of Easton's Point, is Sachuset Beach, which 
is much larger than Easton's, but not so safe. ( )u 
the east side of the peninsula and fronting on 
Sachuset Beach is a deep, yawning crevice In the face 
of the clirt', leo feet long, eight to fourteen feet wide 
and fifty feet in depth. The sea flows into it at the 
bottom of the cliffs. It is known as Purgatory, and 
there are various interesting legends in connection 
with it. 

Bailey's Beach is situated at the enti of the L-like 
terminus of Bellevue avenue, and is the shore of a 



Newport and Conanicut Island. You can drive there, 
a distance of between three and four miles, or if you 
have friends or acquaintances in the fort, you will be 
allowed to go over in the government tug 'boat, the 
distance across the harbor being less than a mile. 

The finest harlior excursion is over to Jamestown, 
on Conanicut Island, by the steam ferry boat, a dis- 
tance of about two miles, passing on the way Goat 
Island, the Torpedo Station, Rose Island, and obtain- 
ing fine views of the beautiful harbor and island. 

There are three routes to reach Newport from 
Providence and two from New York. From Provi- 
dence you can go by the Old Colony Railroad via 
Warren and Fall River, the railroad skirting the

shores of the Bay for a large portion of the whole dis- 
tance and affording many pleasant and some grand 
views ; the popular way in summer is by the Bay 
steamers, from whose decks the shores and islands of 
the beautiful Narragansett please the senses with their 
ever-varying panorama; the third route is Ijy the 
Xew York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad via 
Wickford, connecting at Wickford landing with a 
steamer which, after an hour's sail across the Bay, 
lands t'.ie traveler in Newport. The chief route from 
New York is by the Old Colony steamboat line, but 
the Shore Line to Wickford is also patronized by 
many on account of being nearly an all-rail route.

There are, in Newport, several firms of excellent 
and trustworthy Real Estate agents, who have their 
offices at the business end of Bellevue avenue. 
Without being invidious, we found it necessary to 
obtain from some one reliable person such a brief 
outline as might serve our readers as a reliable guide. 
On inquiring in various quarters from bankers, influ- 
ential residents, and the city store-keepers, we were 
very generally referred to Mr. A. (I'D. Taylor, real

REAL ESTATE IN NEWPORT.— The field of real 
estate in Newport is one of great importance, as 
special districts are being gradually absorbed by sum- 
mer-visitors, who become developed into summer resi- 
dents by the charms of the island, by the equable 
temperature, and balmy air. This fact has, in the 
past, enhanced, in a special way, those properties 
fringing the "Cliffs" on the eastern side of the 
island, and most of the places on the fashional)le 
Bellevue avenue. The southern part of the island, 
called the '-Rocky Farm" district, seems destined to 
be the favorite for the wealthiest class — the ff>mons 



whose sound judgment, integrity and energy had 
placed him in the very first rank in Newport, as a 
reference. We have therefore obtained from Mr. 
Taylor the following short summary : 

As regards furnished cottages for the summer 
season (which means June to September inclusive), 
pleasant cottages can be had from .$300 to .$C00, but 
not many under S-400 to .$500. From $700 to $1,000, 
excellent; and from .$1,250 to .$2,500, houses with 
stables, grounds, etc., can be obtained — plenty of 
them; $3,000 to $7,000 represents the most luxurious 
class. 

It is a great mistake to suppose Newport is an ex- 
pensive place in summev rents. It is not so, it is 



NEAVPORT AND NARRAGANSETT BAY 



much cheaper than rt-sorts near New York and Boston. 
Unfurnished houses by the year, are obtainable 
from .8300, or $350 to $700. Furnished houses, all 
the year round, are cheaper in proportion than sum- 
mer fjuarters. Can be had at $600 to $1,200 a year. 
.\s for land suitable for building sites, the northern 
part, the Broadway direction, is the favorite district 
for the middle class residents of Newport. The dis- 
trict known as the '• Hill," lying east of Kay street 
and Bellevue avenue, towards Gil)bs avenue and the 




hrst bathing beach, is more occupied by families 
living quietly and out of active business relations. 

As regards"! stores, Thames street is the principal 
business street, all the year round, and Bellevue ave- 
nue, from King's blocks to Hartmann's Hotel, is the 
summer range for shops. Rent of stores on Thames 
street, $400 to $1,000, and on Bellevue avenue, an av- 
erage of .$.500 — range $300 to 81.250. 

There are, no doubt, certain localities where money 
can 1)0 made by buying land, with a view to the 
future, but they can only l)e ascertained l)y skilful 
selections and by a buyer consulting an agent. 

Toucliing farms, some people like cows, fresh 



children — a decidedly simpler life than that afforded 
by the Casino, balls, dinner-parties, and drives in 
carriages. The contiguous counties of Middletown 
and Portsmouth oft'er such farms at from $15ii to .$250 
an acre, with residences. From $5,000 to $7,500 will 
buy several charming rural places In the country, 
within four miles from Newport. Some splendid farms 
to be had at $14,000 to $20,000. But those who come 
to Newport are more likely to be men of consideraltle 
means, desirous of selecting quarters which will suit 
their families as summer residence.^ 
amongst tho fashionable world, year 
after year. 
^ For this class there is a wide range 

of selection. They can purchase very 
nice, snug estates for $10,000, $12,000 
and $15,000; most beautiful ones at 
from $20,000 to $35,000, according to 
size of mansion stables and grounds 
More amljitious estates, especially 
some on the sea, run from $100,000 to 
a quarter of a million — all purses can 
be suited at Newport. We have fur- 
tlier learned that the usual rate for 
real estate taxation is one per cent., 
and the percentage on mortgage 
money varies from five to six per 
cent, in Newport. Investors who 
\il like first mortgaiges at these rates,

^ THE UNITED STATES HOTEL, New-

I I almost as well known to the travel- 

J ' ing puljlic as the city itself, situated 

' ' on the corner of Thames and Pelham 

streets only a minutes' walk from 
Commercial wharf, the landing place 
of the steamers from Providence and 
IJloek Island, as well as the boats of 
tile Wickford line connecting several

steamers of the Fall River line, and the station of 
the Old Colony R. R. Boston, via Fall River, are eacli 
but a few minutes' easy walk from the Hotel, from 
which a free carriage meets all the boats and trains. 
During the many years since the United States hotel 
was flrst opened for the accommodation of the public, 
the changes in the proprietorship have Ijeen remark- 
:il)le few, and the present landlord, Mr. Joseph F. Par- 
sons, who succeeded to the management in March, 
IS05, has proved to be not the least popular of these. 
His long experience, both as a traveling man and Irotel 
manager, emiuently fitting him to meet the requirements 
of tlie travelinir public The liouse which is provided

while the rates are as low as 
those of any flrst-class house. 
Mr. Parsons personally at- 
tends to the details of the

JAMESTOWN. — On tb, 
Island of Conanicut, oppositi 
Newport to the westward ami 
about two and a half miU ^ 
distant across the main tu 
trance to Narragansett Ba\ 
is the newer summer resoi i 
of Jamestown. The plate 
contains a number of hotels 
and more than a hundred 
houses, chiefly summer resi- 
dences after the Newport style. The place was 
originally a small village of native residents, rtshermen 
and farmers, but their modest homes have been over- 
shadowed and absorbed by the new comers. The 
new residences and hotels are sprinkled over a gently 
sloping hillside that overlooks Newport, its harbor 
and the entrance to the Bay. 

The Newport and Jamestown Steam Ferry and 
Navigation Company runs a steam ferry boat from the 
west side of Conanicut Islaud to Narragansett on the 
shores of the town of South Kingstown, connecting 
across Conanicut Island with the Jamestown ferry, 
the distance overland being only about a mile. By 
this means, opportunity is afl'orded to drive from New- 
port to Narragansett Pier, the route including five 
miles of travel by water and six by land, and it would 
be difficult to And a more enjoyable journey. Drags 
connect the two ferries.

rooms, is fitted with the best of plumbing, has gas, 
furnace heat, and open fires. The dining room is an 
elegant and commodious apartment. The " Bay Voy- 
age " has an unique history. It was originally a coun- 
try house on Middletown Highlands, but several years 
ago it was moved down to the shore and floated across 
the bay to its present location. From this circum- 
stance it received its name. The house is now fitted 
up in modern style, the furnishings are new, and 
everything is first-class. The rate is $2.50 per day. 
The hotel is now under the management of Mr. Dan- 
iels, formerly of the Perry house, Newport.

CONANICUT PARK, a beautiful re- 
sort situated at the north end of 
Conanlcut Island, has a number of 
summer residences, and a good house, 
The Hotei, Con.^nicut. It is about 
six miles from Newport. Annexed 
to the hotel are cottages and livery 
staljle. It is strictly a family hotel, 
with an excellent table, and for 
children it is unsurpassed. Good

down Bellevue Avenue, returning in time for supper. 
There are no mos<|Uitoes, and the nights are cool 
enough to require heavy Ijlankets during the whole 
summer. The Hotel is open from June 20th 
to Sept. lath, under ihe management of Mrs. K. E. 
Brown. 

THE ISLANDS of Narragansett Bay deserve a pass- 
ing mention. The largest is Rhode Island, which lies 
along the eastern side of the main portion of the 
Bay. It has many fertile farms and beautiful estates, 
and contains the towns of Portsmouth and Middle- 
town and the city of Newport. The next in size 
is Conanlcut, already noticed. Almost in the middle 
of the Bay is Prudence Island, the third in size, which 
was once owned Ijy Roger Williams, who was the first 
man to till its soil. It is six miles long and very 
irregular in shape. Near the centre of the island is 




NEWPORT AND NARRAG-ANSETT BAY. 



Prudence Park, a summer residence resort, where the 
Newport steamers stop daily during the summer. 

SEACONNET POINT.— The extremity of the territory 
of the State of Rhode Island at the eastern entrance 
into Narragansett Bay is Seaconnet Point, a peninsula 
or neck much indented by coves and protected by 
rocky headlands. Within the past few years a score 
or more of fine summer residences have been erected 
here, and there is a good hotel, the Sakonnet, over- 
looking the mouth of the Bay. The Point Is reached 
by the steamers .\washonks and Queen City of the 
Seaconnet Steamboat Co. 

WICKFORD.— About twelve miles northward from 
Narragansett Pier, and twenty from Providence, is 
the pleasant village of Wickford, on a small bay of 
the same name. The Wickford Branch Railroad con- 
nects with the New York, 
New Haven and Hartford 
line at AVickford Junction, 
and with Newport by l)oat 
from Wickford. Saunders- 
town and Narragansett are 
small villages on the coast 
below Wickford. 

THE NARRAGANSETT 
HOUSE is on the main street 
of the village of Wickford. 
Its location is central and 
the advantages of the vicin- 
ity, either of shores or 
waters, are within easy 
reach. The house was 
built over 1.50 years ago. 
and is the oldest in the 
town. For many years it 
was a wayside tavern, but 
.")4 years ago when the rail- 
road was built, it was con- 
verted into a hotel. Not- 
withstanding the age of the 
house the proprietor, \. E. 

Congdon, keeps up with the times and furnishes good 
board and accommodations at moderate prices. An 
addition to the house was built this season to accom- 
modate the constantly increasing number of guests 
that avail themselves of the hospitality of the old sea- 
side hotel every summer. 

WICKFORD HOUSE is a good hotel centrally located, 
about a quarter of a mile from the depot. First-class 
board is furnished either by the day or week, and the 
house has ample accommodations for permanent and 
transient guests. Tliere is a stable adjoining the 
house where horses are boarded and carriages may be 
hired. 

EAST GREENWICH.— On a steep hillside, facing east- 
ward along the shores of Greenwich Bay, is the vil- 
lage of East Greenwich, the county seat of Kent 
county. The New York, New Haven and Hartford 
Railroad runs along between the base of the hill and 
the shore, and the traveler in a passing train has 
thereby a panoramic view of the entire surroundings. 



Many of the dwellings here on the slope of the hill 
are attractive residences, the homes of people doing 
business in Providence, as the town is only fourteen 
miles distant from the city. Greenwich Bay is the 
best fishing ground for scallops on Narragansett Bay, 
clams and quahaugs are plentiful on its shores, and 
the oyster is also found in its waters. 

THE BUTTONWOODS.— The south coast of Green- 
wich Bay is a long stretch of sandy shore known as 
the "' Buttonwoods," and famous in local annals for 
generations as a great clam-digging resort. The 
" Buttonwoods Beach Association," in 1871, purchased 
a large tract of land at the east end of this beach, 
erected a hotel, and platted the land for cottage lots, 
and since then a large number of tasteful cottages 
have been erected, forming one of the most beautiful 




IK STr..\JIF.l! " GeXKKAL," of TIIK WI' 



residence resorts on the bay. The tine beach is over 
a mile in length and affords facilities for bathing, 
boating and Ashing equal to any other place on the 
bay. East Greenwich lies in view to the west two or 
three miles distant diagonally across the bay ; Rocky 
Point lies about the same distance away to the east- 
ward, but on the other side of Warwick Neck, while 
Oakland Beach is only half a mile away. Button- 
woods is the terminus of the Warwick and Oakland 
Beach Railroad. 

The Buttonwoods Beach Hotel, a pleasant summer 
hotel of fifty rooms, has been conducted for the last 
nine years by Mr. Thomas II. Lyman, proprietor of 
the "Lyman," Franklin St., Providence. This is a 
very popular family hotel and has a reputation second 
to none on the Bay. Frequent trains over the Oak- 
land Beach Branch of the N. Y., N. H. & Hartford 
Railroad connect Buttonwoods with Providence. 

OAKLAND BEACH.— For some years past this has 
Ijeen one of the most noted popular excursion resorts

oil the bay, but withm the past two years it has become 
:i place of summer residence. It is located on the 
southern extremity of the I peninsula of Horse Neck, 
fronting on Greenwicli 'Bay and just east of Button- 
woods. The grounds are extensive and there are tine 
bathing facilities. 

ROCKY POINT.— The visitors to Rhode Island or its 
environs, as well as residents of the vicinity, who 
fail to pay a visit to Rocky Point will have missed one 
of the most pleasurable events of a summer's outing. 
No place in New England is wider or more favorably 
known than this historic resort with a record of 
thirty years to back it : it has always been recognized 
as the popular place for the respectable element to 



-•Vmong the prominent attractions offered for public 
approval at Rocky Point are the two theaters, where 
continuous performances of vaudeville and minstrelsy 
are given daily by two companies of talented and 
capable artists. 

The theaters are cool, breezy and inviting, and the 
programmes always excellently arranged. Among 
the out-door amusements are the Ferris wheel and 
haunted swings, two devices new this season ami 
erected as companion features to the well known Rus- 
sian Toboggan and gigantic merry-go-round. 

There is a commodious ball-room at Rocky Point, 
with removable side walls, where one may trip the 
light fantastic amid cooling lireezes to the excellent

hold their excursions, picnics, etc. Nature has dealt 
lavishly with the " Point." Scenically beautiful as 
well as shady and cool, one enjoys the effects of 
country and marine surroundings, with the exterior 
Narragansett Bay one side, and picturesque forest in- 
termingled with groves, caves and shady nooks on 
the other, there is a variety of scenery sufficient to 
satisfy the wants of anyone, no matter what the I)ent 
of their inclinations. 

In addition to Nature's bounteous bestowal, artiiice 
has been brought prominently into play year after 
year, and never have pains or expense been spared 
less, than since the advent of Mr. 11. A. Harrington 
as manager of this favorite spot, some tlve years 
since. Bright in uniijue ideas, generous in catering 
for public patronage, with a quick perception of the 
public's desires, surely no man is better fitted to 
handle the thousands of intricacies attached to such 
an enormous establislmuiit.

linists, Mr. Frank Vaughn, is the leader and prompter 
of the orchestra and Mr. Wm. Green is the tloor 
manager. 

Concerts ai-e given daily by well-known musical 
organizations. 

There is an extensive and well-kept game ground 
where base-ball is played by amateur and professional 
teams, and where visiting societies hold their games 
and sports. 

A new feature this season is the paddock and race 
track, where those interested in horses will find much 
to hold their attention. The dinners at Rocky Point 
have always been esteemed for their excellent (piality, 
but this season finds them much improved. Mr. .1. 
E. Hurst, a gentleman of long experience in that di- 
rection, gives his entire attention to the preparation 
and serving of the dinners, and those furnished so far 
show the excellent judgment of Manager Harrington

One miglit write interminably of tlie points of in- 
terest of this beautiful spot. So, in conclusion, we 
can only say, go and be convinced. 

OLD BUTTONWOODS HOUSE.— This house has been 
opened for the season under the management of 1). 
A. Clark, Jr., who will continue the same liberal 
policy which has made the house so popular iu 
previous seasons. The splendid location and superior 
l)athing facilities which may be enjoyed on Green- 
wich Bay render this a particularly desirable place to 
spenil a summer vacation. 



EAST PROVIDENCE.— Across the Seekonk Kiver 
from Providence, is the town of East Providence, 
wliich extends to Bullock's Point, six miles from the 
city. The compact place formerly called Watche- 
nioket. but now distinctively known as East Provi- 
dence, is the nearest suburb of Providence, lying 
within a mile of Market Square, the centre of the 
city. It is connected with the latter l}y two draw- 
Ijridges. It is an important residence suburb of the 
city, has largely increased in size and population since 
tlie completion of the new Washington Bridge and the 
estahlislimeni of the horse carMine in 1S8?,. and is tlie

BRISTOL. — On a peninsula just north of the island 
of Hhoile Island, on the east side of the Ijay and sep- 
arating Narragansett from Mount Hope Bay, is the 
town of Bristol, one of the most beautiful places, not 
only in Rhode Island, 1)ut in New England. The Rhode 
Island Soldiers' and Sailors' Home is situated in 
Bristol, overlooking Mount Hope Bay. 

WARREN Warren is a pleasant place of alxmt 

four thousand iuhal)itauts. situated on the Warren 
Kiver. an inlet on the east side of Narragansett Hay. 

BARRINGTON Tlie territory on the east side of the 

bay. cxtcniliii- from Bullock's Point to Rumstick 
Point, at the mouth of the Warren River is the de- 
lightful residence town of Barringtou. The most 
important ;;lace in Barrlngton is Nayatt Point, a 
headland forty or fifty feet above the water, where 
tliere are many tine villas, the residences of wealthy 
people. 



lar resorts on the bay are on the shores of East Provi- 
dence. From Providence harbor the whole shore is a 
succession of hi-li blufi's, alternating with coves, 
headlands and roeky islands, with sandy beaches at 
the foot of the blutfs and throughout the whole extent 
is occupied by summer cottages, boarding houses and 
hotels, perched in advantageous situations. The War- 
ren and Bristol Railroad skirts the shore until some 
distance beyond Silver Spring, and has a station there 
and at Riverside. Every point is also reached by an 
electric line from the city, which runs i\(iy ten minute^

SILVER SPRING.— By this euphonious title was the 
next place on the eastern shore christened by Hiram 
.Maxfield when he first set up there as a shore caterer 
in 1860, and gave it a popularity as a first-class shore 
resort which it has ever since sustained. For quiet 
family parties, who desire more privacy than can be 
obtained at some of the other popular resorts. Silver 
Spring is particularly well adapted, and receives a 
great deal of this class of patronage. Many of the 
quieter class of excursion parties also make this their 
objective point, on account of its excellent character 
and beautiful situation and surroundings. This popu- 
lar resort will be controlled this season by Charles F. 
Maxfield — son of Hiram — who will maintain the repu- 
tation made for it by his fatlier. The Warren and 
Bristol Division of the Old Colony Railroad runs along 
shore between the overhanging bluft's and Silver 
Spring, and has a station here which accommodates 
the neighborhood. The shore steamers all stop at 
Silver Spring. 

The name of MaxHehl has been connected with the 
shore industry ever since it became an institution. 
Hiram Maxfield was stylnt the Kiiiii- of shore caterers. 
At liis deatli lu; was alil\ xm ( icdi'd by his son, Charles 
F. Maxfield, whu cmidiKtrd Mlver Spring and also 
Oakland Beach, a resort on the west side of Narragan- 
sett Bay. For several years previous to 1.S94. Mr. C. 
T. Maxfield, or " Prince " Cliarles, as he is called, had 
charge of the shore dinner business at Glen Island, 
N. Y. He has this year returned to Rhode Island soil, 
and having leased Silver Spring for the next five years, 
patrons of that resort may be assured of an excellent 
shore dinner gotten up in the regular Maxfield style. 

RIVERSIDE.— .lust beyond the Pomham Club House 
the blutt' along shore is crow^ned with summer resi- 
dences extending from the steamboat landing for half 



a mile or more, forming the largest summer resort 
near Providence. This is Riverside, formerly known 
as Cedar Grove. This place was fitted up for a pub- 
lic resort about 18(!7. Tents and cheap tasteful cot- 
tages then lined the shores, but of late years tliese 
have been replaced with a substantial class of houses, 
and at present several Imndred families make this then- 
permanent residence. Riverside is now a rapidly grow- 
ing and thriving community, with churches, schools, 
libraries, and other permanent facilities. The Warren 
and Bristol Division of the Old Colony Railroad lias a 
station here, and there is a commodious landing for 

BULLOCK'S POINT AND CRESCENT PARK. Alx.ut 
two miles south of Riverside landing on the east 
shore, is Bullock's Point, a fine, airy, tree-covered 
peninsular. A long, narrow wharf leads out into the 
bay from the higli bluffs of the peninsula about half or 
three-quarters of a mile from the extremity of the 
point, and on shore here is the most popular local re- 
sort on Narragansett Bay. This resort has been in- 
creasing in popularity for a number of years, because 
of its natural advantages, as on the grounds is a large 
and beautiful grove of pine trees, the elevation of the 
bluft" aft'ording charming views of the bay and the 
opposite shores, and there is an excellent bathing 
beach. Until 1891, the geographical name of the 
peninsular has been applied to the resort, but since 
then it has been called Crescent Park. This latter 
name was originally applied to a resort started in 188(i 
in the rear of Bullock's Point, and about three min- 
utes' walk from the landing over the head of the 
peninsula. The term Bullock's Point still applies to 
the cottage settlement, and that extends from the 
hotel to the end of the Point, and which is a rapidly 
growing community. A commodious hotel is situated 
on the high ground overlooking the landing. At tlie 
original Crescent Park are the Iniildings where clam

sition on College Hill. A fine new State House is 
about to be erected, and a big union railroad station 
house, accessible to the business centre of the city, 
is being built. The city has several fine churches and 
school buildings. It is the seat of Brown University, 
of the Friends' School, and of other important educa- 
tional institutions, both of a general and special char- 
acter. It has a valuable pnl)llc and other free libra- 
ries, and a number of hospitals, '■ liomes " and other 
charitable institutions. 

During recent years Providence has paid special at- 
tention to its public grounds. Roger Williams Park, 
at the southeast extremity of the city, acquired partly 
by gift and partly by purchase, now' contains about 
400 acres, including the pond area. It is handsomely 
laid out. and is being beautified year by year. Its 
ponds affording boating in the summer and skating in 
the winter, are a special attraction. The city has a 
zoological collection at this park, which is receiving 
additions each year, aud has already arrived at re- 
spectable proportions. 

Blackstone Park, on the east side, Is another large 
park, which will ultimately rival Roger WiUiams Park 
in attractions. It borders the banks of the Seekonk 



river. Davis Park, in the Tenth Ward, contains 
thirty four acres, has attractive natural features, and 
will receive the attention of the landscape gardener in 
the near future. Dexter Training Grounds, nine acres 
in extent, near the heart of the city is an important 
breathing area which is now receiving attention and 
embellishment. There are many other smaU parks 
and squares scattered over the city wliich aftbrd local 
breathing places of limited extent. Prospect Terrace, 
one of them, on the east side, commands a fine view of 
the city, on another, Roger Williams Square — undevel- 
oped, and given up by the city to burdocks and old junk 
— is What Cheer Rock, upon wliich Roger Williams 
landed in 1636, upon his first entry into Providence 
Plantations. 

During the summer season Providence is daily visited 
by excursion parties many of them from outside the state 
which come to visit the city and to take boat or electric 
transport to the numerous shore resorts scattered 
along the shores of Narragansett Bay. Excursion 
steamers leave the city wharves every few minutes 
during the hot season, and many of the points of 
attraction can be readily reached by steam or electric 
cars. Field's Point, within the city limits, in South 
Providence, is the first shore resort reached by boat.

The southern portion of the city was formerly a 
portion of Tiverton, Rhode Island, from which it was 
taken in 1856, and made the town of Fall River. In 
1862 it was ceded to Massachusetts and consolidated 
with the city. Fall River is the principal seat of the 
cotton manufacture in the United States. Massive 
factories, each several hundred feet in length, and Ave 
and six stories in height, the majority of them built of 
granite, loom up in every section of the city and 
suburbs, and in their neighborhoods are the houses in- 
habited by the operatives. The city has good railroad 
and shipping facilities, and is reached by the lines of 
the Old Colony Railroad. This port is a favorite 
shipping point of passengers by steamers of the 
Fall River Line. The Sound steamers of this line 



Taunton has probably more varied industries than 
any city of its size in New England. The leading ones 
at present are the manufacture of cotton goods, tacks, 
nails and spikes, locomotives, cotton machinery, 
printing presses, stoves and stove linings, copper and 
zinc in all mercantile forms, britannia ware and bricks, 
besides which there are a large number of other manu- 
factures carried on in small establishments.

TAUNTON.— The _ city of Taunton is situated at the 
head of navigation on the Taunton River, seventeen 
miles north of Fall River. Although so far inland, it 
has excellent shipping facilities, furnished by the 
river of the same name, which flows around the city 
to the eastward. Taunton was the original county 
scat of Bristol County, and is the site of the new and 
handsome County Court House. 

Two lines of the Old Colony Railroad run tlimngh 
Taunton, namely, the Central Division between New- 
port and Boston, and the Northern Division between 
New Bedford and Fitcliburg, crossing each other at 
Weir .lunction. The princiiial depot is tlie Central

Old Colony system from Fall River and Boston. 

CAPE COD is a long, narrow, saudy peninsula, not 
much more than Ave miles wide iu any place, and ex- 
tending iuto the ocean for more thau sixty miles 
from the southern coast of Massachusetts. In shape 
it is like an arvn bent at the elbow — the outer shores 
being washed by the Atlantic, while the inner coast is 
laved by the tides of Massachusetts Bay. Within 
recent years the ancient towns on the Cape have 
gradually become summer resorts. A line of the 
Old Colony system runs the entire length of the 
peninsula to the terminal town — Provincetown. 

The shoulder of the right arm commeuces at 
Bourne, which contains many shore resorts, both on 
Buzzard's aud Cape Cod Bays. In Sandwich, the 
next town, are many, spots of historic interest. 
The northern end of the Cape Cod canal was located 
in this town.

waters, the strength and steadiness of its summer 
winds, and its freedom from obstruction, the bay is a 
favorite sailing ground for yachts, and for tlie num- 
erous cat-l)oats and sloops from New Bedford and the 
smaller harbors on its coast. The shores are low and 
sandy, backed by forests in most places, and are much 
Indented by many inlets and harbors, on some of 
which towns, \-illages and summer resorts are sit- 
uated. 

Tlie whole eastern coast of the bay is reached \>y 
the lines of tlie Old Colony Railroad. The Fairhaven

towu is full of natural beauties, and lias many inter- 
estiuf; historical associations. The territory em- 
braced in the town ouce belonged to King Philip, and 
that great Indian warrior owed his down- 
fall to the defection of Queen Awashonks 
and her tribe, who lived on Great Hill, in 
this town.. A short distance south of Marion 
village is the house where President and 
Mrs. Cleveland lived for two summers pre- 
vious to the purchase of "Gray Gables." 
There are many fine drives in the vicinity of 
the village. The harbor is studded witli 
beautiful islands and its waters contain an 
abundance of fish. 

THE SIPPICAN.— Nestled beside the water 
in Marion, one of the charming places for 
which the Massachusetts coast is noted, is 
The Sippican, an ideal summer hotel, which, 
under the management of the owner, Mr. C. 
W. Ripley, has achieved a reputation second 
to that of no other similar summer resort 
on the Atlantic coast. 

The environment is most delightful, shade 
trees, pleasant walks, beautiful drives, splen- 
did sailing, fishing and bathing all combine 
to render this one of the most desirable of places in 
which to forget the cares of daily life. That it is ap- 
preciated, the constantly increasing number of guests 
is surticient testimony. 

ONSET BAY is noted for the beauty of its shores 
and islands. Many of its most attractive jutting 
points and headlands are occupied by wealthy Bos- 
tonians, whose handsome summer residences add to 
the natural beauty of the situation. 

" Onset Bay Grove " is noted as the great summer 
rendezvous of the Spiritualists of the counti'y. The 
place has a permanent population of considerable 
numbers, and during the Spiritualist season often en- 
tertains from 5,000 to 10,000 people.

THE GLEN COVE HOUSE.-This house so favorably 
known under tlir lui-vi.ms management, has been 
leased by Iluckin^ .<: Mowiy. the popular hotel pro- 
prietors of .\tlHil. .Mavs., and has been refurnished 
and thoroughly renovated for the present season. The 
Glen Cove is situated upon a high.blutt' directly upon 
the shores of beautiful Onset Bay, opposite Wicketts' 
Island, and the environments are the most delightful 
imaginable. The sanitary arrangements are perfect, 
and the facilities for the health and comfort of the 
guests are unsurpassed. The table is supplied with 
the best of everything the market affords. The pro- 
prietors will give their constant personal attention to 
the management of the house, and with the flrst-class 
facilities at their command, will make the resort more 
popular than ever. 

HOTEL ONSET — This house is delightfully situated 
on the blufl' overlooking Onset Bay. The boat landing 
and pavilion are nearly in front of the house, while

yachts, in charge of reliable, experienced and cour- 
teous sliippers, are always at the service of guests, 
providing means of enjoying the boating or Ashing, 
which is one of the attractions of the place. The 
service at the Hotel Onset is maintained at the highest 
standard, and the table is supplied with all that is 
tempting to the palate. The rooms are large, airy 
and nicely furnished, and nearly all have a tine ocean 
view. The situation of the house is such that the 
drainage is complete, and this, with the complete sys- 
tem of plumbing renders the sanitary conditions per- 
fect. The house is usually filled early in the season, 
and parties desiring rooms will do well to apply at 
once to the manager, A. R. Williams. 




HYANNIS. — Barnstable, the county seat, is one of 
the most attractive of the Cape towns. Hyannis, in 
this town, has, in many respects, outgrown the par- 
ent establishment. It is situated on the south shore 
of the Cape, and is reached by a branch of the Old 
Colony system, leaving the line at Yarmouth Port. 
Hyannis is a centre of trade for a dozen or more vil- 
lages, and it is the only port of importance on the 
south side of the Cape. Yarmouth Port is a hand- 
some village, and has one of the finest village streets 
to be found on the Cape. The villages of Den- 
nis — the next town east — are thronged with visi- 
tors during the summer. Harwichport is nearly 
southeast and about three miles distant from Harwich, 
which is the junction of the Chatham branch with tlie 
main line of the railroad, is the village of Harwi chport. 
a part of which, including the harbor imini, !■<

known as Wychmere. Natural conditions niidirthis 
portion of the town one of the finest location-^ rdrsum- 
nier residents to he found on the cape. Harwich. 
Brewster and Chatham — the last the elbow of the 



arm— are all interesting towns which present many 
points- of interest to summer sojourners. Wellfleet, 
the third town from Cape Cod, is the last one that 
may be said to have a soil, as Truro and Province- 
town are decidedly sandy. Wellfleet is designed by 
nature for shore resorts, as from its clifls some of 
the finest views of old Ocean can be obtained. 
A Boston syndicate has recently acquired some 
of its most desirable points, and the town is 
experiencing something of a boom as a summer 
resort. Provincctowu, the town at the extreme 
point, is a village of nearly 5,000 inhabitants, most of 
whom are engaged in fishing. The village gardens 
owe their verdure to earth, which was formerly 
brousrht in by vessels which came to the port after 
fish. But for this imported 
earth it would l)e impossible to 
cultivate the soil. Province- 
town, which contains many 
well-to-do Portuguese citizens, 
entertains a large number of 
summer visitors. 

HYANNISPORT, across the 
harl)or, west of Hyannis, is one 
of the finest summer resorts ou 
Cape Cod. It enjoys exhilirating 
sea breezes, elegant shore situ,

THE CROSBY HOUSE.— Nature has been lavish in 
the distribution of her charms ou that section of Cape 
Cod which includes Osterville, and in no place can 
they be enjoyed to greater advantage than in the beau- 
tiful spot selected for the location of the Crosby 
House. Just sufficiently removed from the ocean to 
escape the monotonous and to some, unpleasant, beat 
of the tides upon the shores, yet so near that a pleas- 
ant walk or short drive brings the guest to the beach 
where bathing, boating or fishing may be enjoyed to 
the fullest extent and in perfect safety, while the 



green fields and .shadv trees by which the house is 
surrounded, all'ord the perfection of rural comfort 
and seclusion. The promise of the surroundings is 
happily fulfilled by the hospitality which meets the 
arriving guest at the doors of Crosby House, and 
which is never relaxed during the stay, whether it be 
for a day or for the season. The house is under the 
personal management of the owner, Mrs. H. S. Crosby, 
whose entire efforts are directed to the comfort and 
pleasure of her guests. The table, which is her pride, 
and the sleeping and sitting rooms all show the result 
of her careful supervision, and guests who have once 
enjoyed the Itospitality of the Crosby House are rarely 
tempted elsewhere.

THE DILL HOUSE.— (_>n the site of what 
many years been known as the Watts House, now 
stands the new Dill House. 

The new structure contains sixty sleeping rooms, 
all of which command a fine view of the ocean. In 
addition to these is a large parlor and a pleasant 
smoking-room, adding much to the comfort of guests, 
and what will be pleasing to the old patrons, the 
whole of the ground floor of the Watts House is con- 
verted into a commodious and airy dining-room. 

Chatham is situated on the elbow of Cape Cod, and 
all craft going north and south pass this point, and 
many pleasant hours can he spent in watching from 
the spacions piazza the ever changing scene. 

The beach is of fine white sand and the house is 
within a stone's throw of the water, affording a safe 
and delightful play-ground for cliildrcu. Still-water 



and surf bathing, boating and fishing may be indulged 
in with the greatest comfort. While the house is 
quite apart from the town, it is Init a few minutes' 
walk to the centre, with its stores, post and telegraph 
oftices, etc. 

The Dill House is now open, and the manager 
trusts by courteous attention to all, and with the help 
of a good cuisine, to merit the approval of all who 
may favor the house with their patronage. Rates on

VINEYARD SOUND Between the Elizabeth Islands 

and tlie northern coast of JIartlia's Vineyard is Vine- 
yard Sound, five or six miles in width and twenty 
miles in length, one of the greatest thoroughfares for 
vessels in the world. The keels of e\ery nation plough 
these waters w itliout rest day or night. 

MARTHA'S VINEYARD One of the best known of 

the many summer resorts on the Northern Atlantic 
seaboard is the island of Martha's Vineyard, ott' the 
southeastern coast of Massachusetts, and within an 
hour's sail of the mainland. 
COTTAGE CITY.— The majority of the visitors to 

Martha's Vineyard have for their 

destination the unique summer 
resort now known by the cor- 
porate name of " Cottage City,'" 
but which was originally known 
by the more appropriate title 
■' Oak Blurt's." Although the is- 
land has two considerable village 
communities, Edgartowu and 
Vineyard Haven, and a numljer 
of small hamlets, all indigenous 
to the country. Cottage City is 
the Mecca of the summer visitors 
and is a community radically dif- 
ferent from its neighbors. While 
the other places are the homes 
of the native farmers and fisher- 
men, Cottage City had its origin 
hi a Methodist camp-meeting, 
lieginning in 1835 and has de 
veloped from and outgrown that 
lieginning, until it has become the 
most uuiiiue, self-contained and self-centered summer 
community in tlie country. It is situated on the east- 
ern side of the island, where the c'oast is formed by 
steep sand blurt's. The place is handsomely laid out, 
and is strikingly beautiful, as viewed from the water. 
Cottage City consists of three distinct sections. 
Oak Blurts, the region along shore in the most popu- 
lar portion of the place; the "Camp Ground" nr 
Wesleyan Grove, westward of Oak Blurt's; Vineyard 
Highlands, separated from the two former localities 
Ijy lake Anthony, a small shore pond. There are 
steamboat landings both at Vineyard Highlands and 
Oak Blurt's. 

Vineyard Highlands is the property of the Baptist 
Vineyard Association. In the midst of the grove, 
two or three minutes' walk from the wharf, is the 
large circular Baptist tabernacle, and surrounding it

are a large number of tasteful cottages. The camp 
meetings of the Baptists are held usually during the 
week preceding those of the Methodists. 

Cottage City is reached by steamers of the New 
Bedford, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamboat 
Company, which make during the summer, at least 
two trips daily each way from New Bedford and 
Wood's Holl, connecting directly with trains to those 
points over the Old Colony lines, and by this means 
making through connections with New York or Bos- 
ton, over the usual routes. The steamers of the Maine 
Steamship Company, which leave Pier 88 East River, 
New York City, Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays 
at .5 p. m., arrive nest morning at Cottage City in time 
for breakfast. 

E. G. ELDRIDGE, REAL ESTATE AND INSUR- 
ANCE.— Tlie minute sub-division of property at 
Cottage City and the consequent multitude of 
cottage and lot owners, a very laige penent 
aiie of which are non-residents occupMug then

iiirissary the constant presence of a uspon-i

and loans negotiated at reasonable rates. The accom- 
panying cut shows the front of Mr. Eldridge's office 
in. the Arcade building and next door to the postoffice 
building. 

FIELD'S HOTEL OAKWOOD.— To such visitors to 
Cottage City as have in past years enjoyed the hospi- 
tality of the Oakwood under the management of Mr. 
D. W. Russell, the builder, and until his death the sole 
proprietor of the house, it is unnecessary to describe 
its attractions, but for the information of such as 
propose visiting Cottage City for the first time, a brief 
description may not be out of place. The house is 
beautifuly situated midway between the steamboat

lanrliugs, in close proximity to the post-otlice and 
principal stores, and but three or four minutes' walli 
from the bathing beach, "while the Methodist Taber- 
uacle is still nearer in another direction. The present 
proprietor, Mr. Herbert H. Field, formerly manager 
of the Highland House, Cottage City, and more 
recently manager of the New England World's Fan- 
Hotel at Chicago, has remodeled the entire front of 
the house, the piazza has been extended to nearly 
double its former width, and the appearance and 
convenience of the house improved in many ways. 
The service, especially in the dining room is under 
the personal supervision of Mr. Field, while the 
cuisine will challenge the criticism of the most 
fastidious. A new office and smoking room have 
been added, and, by a perfect system of plumbing 
and sanitary conditions are made equal to the best. 
Ladies' toilet rooms have been provided at the end 
of each corridor, and the house has been entirely 
renovated. Beech Grove spring water only is used

in kitchen and dining room. Intending visitors to 
Cottage City will And it to their advantage to 
inspect the attractions of the Oakwood, or corres- 
pond with Mr. Field before permanently establish- 
ing themselves elsewhere. 

THE NARRAGANSETT.— An exceedingly comfortable 
and home-like house in which to make one's abode for 
a few days or for a much longer period is " The Nar- 
ragansett," located on the avenue of the same name, 
whicii is one of the chief residence avenues of 
Cottage City. The house is perfectly in harmony 
with its surroundings, it has spacious piazzas and 
l)alconies and the rooms are pleasant and airy. A 
beautiful lawn extends along the entire front of the 
house, and there are plenty of shade trees in the 
vicinity. The house has, under the management of 
A. A. Hill, proprietor, long enjoyed the reputation of 
being a flrst-class hotel, and this reputation will con- 
tinue to be jealously guarded and every effort made to 
maintain it in the future. The bathing beach, the 
steamboat landing, the post-otlice and other points of 
interest are only a few minutes' walk distant. 



CHARLES SNO'W, auctioneer and real estate agent 
is one of the Ijest-known business men in Cottage 
City, and his many years' experience in his own line, 
coupled with the good and just service he has ren- 
dered his patrons, has given him an enviable reputa- 
tion for honorable dealing and reliability. Mr. Snow 
is one of the best cjualified men in the community to 
transact such business. He has cottages for sale or 
to let, and makes contracts for building, painting and 
repairing and mason work. Deeds, leases, mortgages 
and conveyances of all kinds executed at his office on 
short notice. Cottages left in his care will be closed 
in the fall, personally inspected through the winter, 
and opened in the spring. Mr. Snow's office is at 124 
Circuit avenue, Cott.ige City. 

THE ISLAND HOUSE Among the many marked im- 
provements at Oak Blufl's no one attracts more atten- 
tion than tliat of the Island House, one of the best 
hotels on the island. The entire building has been 
thoroughly renovated, and has been made as attractive 
as pos'.ible. The manager, Mr. Eugene Hayden, 
appreciating the importance of a flrst-class hotel 
here, has put, in the eigthy-odd sleeping rooms, 
new beds and mattresses, and cosy new style fur- 
niture. Tlie sanitary arrangements deserve especial 
iiniicc. as they include ladies' toilets on each floor, 
^^itll gentlemen's toilets in the basement. The 
former l)illiard room has been fitted up in an at- 
tractive manner, and the large room formerly de- 
\ored to billiards has been annexed to the main 
dining-room by folding doors, and gives an in- 
creased seating capacity that guarantees accom- 
modation during the most crowded portion of the 
season. The parlors have been newly furnished 
in tasty furniture, with many choice bits of paint- 
ings and bric-a-brac, and the entire house offers to 
the traveling public one of the cosiest and most 
comfortable of summer resort hotels. The menu 
will include luncheons and meals served to order 
from 5 A. M. until 11 o'clock p. m., while arrangements 
are made to serve luncheons in private dining-rooms 
at all hours. The new office, which occupies the space 
of the old office and one of the parlors, is a gem in 
hardwood with handsome finish, and is furnished in 
appropriate furniture to match the surroundings. 

FENNER COTTAGE.— Pleasantly situated on Pequot 
avenue, in the most select portion of Cottage City, 
near all of the i)arks and bathing beach, and l)ut a 
few minutes' walk from the post-office and boat land- 
ings, yet entirely removed from the noise and bustle 
of the business portion of the place. Fenner Cottage 
presents exceptional advantages to those desiring a 
cosy quiet resting place at the seashore. The house, 
which has during the five years that it has been under 
the management of Mrs. J. Crossett, gained and main- 
tained a reputation second to none as a desirable sum- 
mer residence, has been thoroughly renovated for the 
present season, improved toilet conveniences have 
been added, the dining room has ijeen enlarged and 
re-decorated, and material improvements have been 
made in minv directions iiieluiruii; running water on

each floor. The table service 
and kitchen -will as iuprevious 
seasons be under the personal 
supervision of Mrs. Crossett, 
and the table will be supplied 
with all the delicacies of the 
season and the freshest of 
vegetables and tish. 'Especial 
care has been taken in the 
preparation of the sleeping 
apartments for this season, and 
in this department Fenner Cot- 
tage equals the leading hotels. 
Persons of quiet tastes intend- 
ing to visit Cottage City during 
the present season, will do well 
to engage rooms at Fenner Cot- 
tage, special terms being made 
for the entire season, and to 
guests during June or Septem- 
ber. P. O. Box 302 ; Mrs. J. N. 
Crossett.] 

THE NAUMKEAG.— This popular house has been 
purchased by the former lessee, A. L. Drew, and 
having been remodelled and thororougbly renovated, 
will be continued as before under the same manage- 
ment, which has made it one of the most popular sum- 
mer hotels on the Atlantic coast. 

The situation of the Naumkeag is convenient to all 
of the attractions of Cottage City, yet sutficiently re- 
moved from the business streets to avoid the noise 
and bustle, has contributed largely to its popularity ; 
while the internal arrangements for the care of 
guests, ihe airy and finely furnished parlors and 
sleeping rooms, the charming dining-room and un- 
surpassed cuisine, leave nothing to be desired l)y the 
visitor. The same personal attention will be given 
to the comfort and amusement of guests as in years 
past, and the applications from guests of former sea- 
sons would indicate that It is appreciated. 

Applications for rooms should be addressed to A. 
L. Drew, Cottage City, Mass. 

THE PEQUOT.— The popularity of this well-known 
house, among such summer visitors to Cottage City 
as have enjoyed its hospitality, is evidenced by their 
return from season to season, some of them having 
been its guests nearly every season since the first 
opening of the house in 1884, when it was but a small 
cottage with accommodations for only thirty-five or 
forty people, while at the present time by constant 
additions necessitated by the annual increase of desir- 
able guests, it will accommodate one hundred and 
twenty-five. Since the last season an entirely new 
kitclicii lias lir.Mi l.iiilt, th.- fnint of the house has

pavilion, midway between the Parks and but a 
short distance from the Union Chapel whose halls 
have echoed the voices of service of America's 
most celebrated deviues. The cuisine and service 
are under the personal supervision of the proprie- 
toress, Mrs. L. E. Phinuey, and nothing is neglected 
which will conduce to the comfort and pleasure of 
guests. The table service is particularly excellent, 
and is sought by many who are compelled to seek 
lodging elsewhere. The Pequot is a desirable resort 
for families and people of retired tastes who wish 
to enjoy the natural attractions of the place, while 
avoiding the bustle and excitement of the larger 
hotels. 

VINEYARD GROVE HOUSE.— People visiting Cot- 
tage City should not fail to visit the Vineyard Grove 
House, on Siloam avenue, kept by Capt. Joseph Dias, 
which is one of the distinctive features of the place, 
uniting as it does the ancient and modern history of 
the Vineyard. Captain Dias is one of the oldest resi- 
dents and has witnessed the growth of the place into 
a summer resort from its former condition as a resort 
of whalers and fishermen, and he can relate many 
stories of former days. The Vineyard Grove House 
is a well-kept hotel, five minutes' walk from the land- 
ing, and directly on the line of the horse cars which 
connect with every boat. It is only two minutes' walk 
from tlic jiost-oilice and principal stores. The table is 
sujiplicd with the best in the market, the vegetables 
l)eing picked fresh every day. The Tabernacle is only 
a few steps from the doors, and the house is con- 
ducted on strictly temperance principles. People 
wishing to escape the noise and turmoil of the cities 
will find the AHneyard Grove House' the quietest place 
in the city, and with its excellent accommodations 
and moderate prices, all that could be desired as a 
summer residence, although the house is kept open all 
the year. Connected with the house is a first-class 
grocery and provision store, where may always be 
found a full line of good things for the table.

EDGARTOWN.— Oq a level plain alons shore, and 
i'ronthii;' on a deep, land-locked harbor of iri'eat area, 
is the ancient village of Edgartown. It is on the 
easterly end of the island, six miles south from Cot- 
tage City, from where it is reached either by the rail- 
road or by the beach drive. The harbor has a pleasing 
variety of outline, and is connected with Katama Bay, 
one of the most beantiful bodies of water on the 
shores of the Vineyard. 

THE HARBOR VIEW HOTEL st^inds on Staibuck 
Xfck, a hiah. grassy point, extending out fmm and 
partly enclosing the harbor of Edgartown. The loca- 
tion of the hotel is a charming one. The view from 
tlie piazzas embraces the brond expanse of Vineyard 
Sound bounded by distant Cape Cod, the whole nortli- 
ern coast of Martha's Vineyard and adjacent waters, 
almost at a glance. 

The Harbor VIpav stands jnst out from the quaint 
old town, yet near enough for all of the advantages 
of post-office, telegrapli, telephone, stores, physicians, 
churches, etc. Its location ont upon the point renders 
it always cool and breezy. Every facility is provided 
for boating, bathing and Ashing. 

The hotel and its equipment are new, snrronnded 
by ample grounds, with perfect drainage; bath aid 
toilet rooms on every floor ; pure spring water, gas 
and electric bells.

NANTUCKET.— Thirty miles 
south from the outer shoi'es of 
Cape Cod, and about fifteen 
miles distant in a south-easterly 
direction from Martha's Vine- 
yard, lies the wave-worn island 
^ I of Nantucket, a veritable sand 

y^jJ j heap amid the waste of waters. 
^M^B It is about fifteen miles in length 
~" ^^ fi'om the "cut oft"" at Smith's 
Point to Siasconset Cliffs, and 

-J varies in width from six and a 

lialf miles at Siasconset, the 
widest place, to a stone's throw 
at either "Point," the width 
being the same in scarcely any two places. 

Nantucket is the name of a county, a township, an 
island, and a town. As a county and a township it is 
the same, embracing the main island, Tuckernuck, 
Muskeget, the two Gravelly Islands, and, when cut 
oil by the sea, Smith's Point Island. On the island is 
the town itself, the village of Siasconset, the summer 
resorts of Surfside and Wanwinet, and many sepa- 
rately-named localities or districts, as Coatne, Squam, 
Quaise. Polpis, North Pasture, Middle Pasture and 
South Pasture, the Plains, Maddequet and Great Neck. 
THE VERANDA HOUSE.— In the quaint old town of 
XantucUet, I'i-plete as it is with the relics and memo- 
ries of the days when our whaling ships were numer- 
ous in every sea, and where may be found that repose 
and (piiet which are so eagerly sought by the tired 
Inain-workers from office and school, a short distance 
back from tlie landing of the steamer from New Bed- 
ford and the terminus of the Nantucket railway, and 
just sufficient!}' removed from the main street to com- 
pletely escape its noise and bustle, is the Veranda 
House, conducted by Mrs. S. G. Davenport. It is a 
large, home-like hotel, which, by its admirable location 
on the high land overlooking the harbor, and the un- 
varying courtesy of the present management, has 
liecome a favorite sojourning place for numerous peo- 
ple, who there enjoy the invigorating sea breezes, the 
luxury of tlie bathing beach, the conveniences of a

home for visitors is its great convenience to all those 
attractions which make Nantucket famous. The har-

Boston has many fine buildings, both of a public 
and a private character. The Post Offlce is a massive 
granite structure which cost several millions. The 
Custom House is an imposing and costly building. 
The Quincy Market is the longest market building in 
the world. There are several sky-scraping business 
structures from the top of which fine views can be 
seen of the city and its surroundings. There are 
palatial hotels, fine theatres, costly chmxhes, school 
buildings, art museums, hospitals, and many other 
imposing structures that attest to the city's wealth, 
business and refinement.

NANTASKET BEACH The most popular seashore 

resort in the vicinity of Boston is Nautasket which 
has gained its reputation by a rare combination of na- 
ture and art. The l)each is a stretch of sliorc. four 
miles In length, situated on the seaward side of :i nar- 
row peninsula, which extends from the niainlund i)f 



riages may drive abreast upon the broad sands. Tlie 
slope of the beach is exceedingly gentle and uniform, 
there is no undertow, and the bathing is perfectly 
safe. At the north the peninsula ends in a rocky 
promontory. Point AUertou, and then extends west- 
ward for a mile or more in a knob-shaped hilly mass. 
Here is the little seaside village of Hull, about which 
and its inhabitants many quaint stories are told. 

From Boston, Nautasket can be reached either by 
rail or steamer. The most enjoyable way to go to 
Nautasket is by Ijoat, as thereby one has an opportu- 
nity of oliserving the beauties of Boston Harbor,

Plymouth County to the main entrance into Boston 
Harbor, and is a great natural breakwater enclosing 
the whole southern portion of the harbor. There are 
many summer hotels and residences on the peninsula, 
and the place affords unlimited opportunities for rec- 
reation either to permanent sojourners or transient 
visitors. 

The beach is one of the most beautiful in New Eng- 
land. The surf rolls in, unbroken by rock or barrier 
for the whole distance of four miles. At liigh tide 
the water comes nearly to the steps of the luiUlings 
which stand along the shore; at low lidc a ilozc n car-

TAYLOR'S TAVERN — One of the best houses at 
Nautasket is Taylor's Tavern. It has ample facilities 
for the accommodation of its guests. Its cuisine is 
of the beat, and its rates very reasonalile: $2.50 per 
day, or $12 per week. William F. Taylor, the pro-

DOWNER LANDING is a popular excursion resort, 
picturesquely situated on a point at the mouth of 




reached by the half-hourly trains of the Boston, Re- 
vere Beach and Lynn railroad. Taking the ferry 
boat at 350 .Atlantic avenue, Boston, a ride of eight 
minutes lands you at the new train house at East 
Boston, where a train, exclusively for Winthrop pas- 
sengers, is always to be found. This train leaves the 
main line at Orient Heights, and from this point makes 
a circuit of Winthrop, stopping at nine stations, so 
that every section of the little town of only a thou- 
sand acres is within a few minutes' walk of the rail- 
road. During the summer months a delightful trip 
can he ni;iilr l.i Winthrop by the boats of the Win-

pretty summer cottages. The place is one of the most 
attractive in the vicinity of Boston. 

MELVILLE GARDEN is really an annex of Downer 
Landing. It contains about twenty acres of groves, 
shrubbery, hills and i)onds provided with all inaiuicr

and Lynn forms the coast of the town of Revere, and 
now has many popular summer localities. The Bos- 
ton Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad, a narrow gauge, 
line ten miles long, runs along this beach, and trains 
stop at every place of any coDsetjuence and each 
point is also reached by electric cars. The starting 
point for the steam cars is East Boston, and con- 
nection is made with Boston by ferry. During the 
summer the trains run either way every fifteen 
minutes the greater part of the day. Crossing 
East Boston, passing the seaside park at Woods 
Island, the trains after a run of three miles 
reach Orient Heights where connection is made 
■with the loop line around the shore of Wiuthrop 
peninsula. The next station is Beachmont, in the 
neighborhood of which ou the hilly point to the 
eastward are many summer residences. For the next 
five miles the railroad runs directly on the edge of the 
beach, and fine views of Boston Bay, Lynn Harbor, 
Winthrop, and Nahant are obtained while the trains 
speed along. Landward are wide salt marshes. The 
principal resorts along the shore are Crescent Beach, 
Oak Island and Point of Pines. At Crescent Beach 
are a number of hotels and cottages, and at its outer 
end is a long and substantial landing pier. Oak Isl- 
ind is a popular picnic and society resort. At the 
Point of Pines is a large hotel, and here great spec- 
tacular plays are frequently given, while the place is 
provided with all the usual requirements for popular 
amusements. 

LYNN. — Twelve miles from Boston, by the Eastern 
Division of the Boston and Maine Railroad, is the 
City of Lynn. It has a population of about sixty 
thousand persons, and is the most important shoe 
manufacturing center in the country, one-quarter of 
the entire population being engaged in this business, 
and the annual product amounting to more than 
$20,000,000 in value. 

NAHANT.— Twelve miles distant from Boston is the 
peninsula of Nahant, rising In the highest point to 
150 feet above the sea. It has a rocky coast and is 
connected with the city of Lynn by a long narrow 
isthmus, which on the seaward side has a fine beach 
about two miles long, on which the surf rolls in 
grandly. The peninsula is mainly occupied by sum- 
mer residences. Nahant was the first fashionable 
seaside resort in the vicinity of Boston, and it still 
maintains it renown as a residence resort, its stately 
mansions being tenanted by some of the oldest and 
most blue-blooded Boston families. Many wealthy 
business men of the city have summer residences 
here, and manage to transfer their legal residences to 
the town, so as to escape the city taxes. The result 
is that Nahant is relatively the richest community ou 
tlie continent; its per capita valuation amounting to 
near ten thousand dollars for each person. 

BASS POINT, a section of Nahant, devoted princi- 
pally to hotels and picnic grounds for the accommo- 
dation of day excursionists, is reached from Boston 
by steamers from T^incoln Wharf. Trips are made 
about every hour during the d.ay. The Point has been 



noted for years on account of the excellent fish dinner 
served at the various hotels, but until about three 
years ago it was not a convenient place to get to. .\t 
that time a wharf was liuilt and a first-class line of 
steamers established, the hotels greatly increased in 
capacity, and at present a large number of people can 
be accommodated. One striking feature in favor of 
Bass Point — it is always cool. Band concerts are 
given every afternoon and evening. Dancing is pro- 
vided under the direction of competent musicians, and 
there is every attraction for young and old — boating, 
bathing. Ashing, bowling, etc. 

SWAMPSCOTT is a fashionable watering place, which 
can be reached either by sea, or by steam or electric 
cars. It is situated on the north side of Nahant bay. 
A mile or two beyond it is Phillips Beach. Beach 
Bluft", Clifton and Clifton Heights, near Ijy, are also 
attractive resorts. 

MARBLEHEAD is a (|uaint, old town, which is he- 
coniing more and more frequented year by year. 
Years ago it was a great fishing town and many of its 
inhabitants are still engaged in that business, but 
shoe manufacturing is now its industry. It has an 
excellent harbor, and is a great rendezvous for pleas- 
ure yachts. Marblehead Neck is lined with elegant 
residences. The beach is the scene of Hawthorne's 
essay, "Footprints in the Sands," and the town has 
been made the scene of many stories and poems by 
several of our best writers. 

SALEM is, after Plymouth, the oldest town in New 
England. It was settled in 1 626 and it has always 
been a leading town. In 1790, when our first census 
was taken, it was the second town in New England 
and the sixth in the conntry. It has a good harbor 
and is the seat of considerable shipping. Salem was 
distinguished during the Revolutionary War for its 
patriotic zeal, and it is said that no less than sixty 
armed vessels, manned by 4,000 men, were sent out as 
privateers. This place, in the early days of Massa- 
chusetts, was the central point of Puritanism. It 
was from this town that Roger Williams was driven 
forth for advocating freedom of conscience. Here, 
in 1692, occurred the famous witchcraft craze, in 
which 19 persons were executed. This city is the 
birthplace of Gen. Israel Putnam, of Prescott, (the 
historian) , and of Nathaniel Hawthorne. 

CAPE ANN.— -At Beverly, the next station on the 
eastern division beyond Salem, the Gloucester branch, 
running the whole length of Cape Ann, connects with 
the main line. The peninsula, of which Cape Ann is 
the extremity, is from sixteen to seventeen miles in 
length. It encloses Massachusetts Bay on the north. 
The general appearance of Cape Ann is rocky in the 
extreme, and the whole peninsula is astonishingly 
diversified with hills, hillocks, ledges and boulders. 
'■ Here and there, like a caprice of nature, are bits ol' 
idyllic beauty, a quiet little nook by a brookside, or 
a pool reflecting the blue sky on its quiet bosom, un- 
conscious of the raging ocean close at hand." Cape 
.\nn is now much resorted to during the snmnicr by

visitors from all parts of the United States. Hotels, 
boarding houses, aud'elegant summer residences are 
becoming numerous along its shores, and it has sev- 
eral well-known resorts, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mag- 
nolia, Beverly Farms and Pigeon Cove, besides the 
city of Gloucester and the town of Rockporl. One of 
the finest drives in New England is "around the 
Cape "' from Gloucester past Bass Rocks and Long 
Beach to Rockport and Pigeon Cove, then to Lanes- 
villc, Bay Views, Aunisquam and Riverdale, and then 
back to Gloucester. The road nearly the whole dis- 
tance is in sight of the sea, and leads high along the 
rocky cxi.isl. 

BEVERLY FARMS.— The lirst important station on 
the railroad after leaving Beverly is Beverly Farms, 
though to this point the road passes many summer resi- 
dences. Beverly Farms is an aristocratic resort, and 
its niansious are chiefly tenanted by Boston families. 
MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA. — Two miles beyond 
Beverly Farms, situated on a snug little harbor, is a 
quaint old maritime village. It has been a favorite 
resort of authors and actors, and references to it are 
found in Professor Tenny's novel, " Coronation," in 
Admiral Porter's " Allen Dare and Robert le Diable," 
and in William Black's "Green Pastures and Picca- 
dilly." The place is famous for its singing beach, 
whose sands when walked upon give forth a musical 
sound. The name, Mauchester-by-the-Sea, was given 
to the place by .Tames T. Fields, the well-known pub- 
lisher. 

MAGNOLIA, now a famous and charming summer 
resort, is situated on a rocky point several miles from 
the railroad station of the same name and is a place of 
summer residences. A short distance from Magnolia 
are Raf e's Chasm, a deep Assure in the rock, and the 
Reef of Norman's Woe, the scene of Longfellow's 
poem, " The Wreck of the Hesperus. " 

GLOUCESTER.— Is the greatest fishing port in the 
:;ountry. It has nearly a thousand vessels engaged in 
the cod and mackerel fisheries and the prosperity of the 
place is dependent upon their success. Near the city 
arc the summer resorts of Bass Rock, East Gloucester 
and East Point, each of which contains good hotels 
for the entertainmeut of visitors, 

Gloucester is a great fishing port. From here is 
sent the largest cod-fishing fleet this country has ever 
seen. In the fleet are some of the fastest boats iifloat. 
That brand of salt codfish, " Not-a-Bone," is packed 
both here and at Boston by Leonard A. Treat. 

ROCKPORT.— At the extremity of Cape Ann, is the 
little S(?aport of Rockport, the terminus of the Cape 
Ann l)ranch of the Boston & Maine Railroad. Oft' the 
end of Cape Ann, near Rockport, Is Thatcher's Island, 
on which are the Cape Liglits, two light houses, 
112 feet high and a third of a mile apart, both pro- 
vided with powerful Frcsnel lights. From Rockport 
great quantities of granite are shipped to all parts of 
the country. 

PIGEON COVE.— About two miles from Rockport, 
on the extreme northeasterly tip of Cape Ann, Is the 



resort of Pigeon Cove. Stages connecting 
with the trains run from Rockport, the road lying 
along the face of the rocky coast like a shelf, and 
passing many of the great granite quarries. Since 
1840 the locality has been a place of summer habita- 
tion for wealth and celebrated people, and at present 
there are a considerable number of summer cottages 
and several hotels and boarding houses. The forests 
and the shores In the vicinity possess many features 
of natural beauty. 

NEWBURYPORT.-The city of Newburyport, thirty- 
seven miles from Boston at the mouth of the Merrl- 
mac river, is probably the most antique looking town 
in New England. It has about 14,000 inhabitants, and 
is one of the oldest seaports on the coast, the parent 
town of Newbury having been founded in IGSn. 
"Though she were, indeed, famous for nothing else, 
Newburyport would have to be so for the excellence 
of her situation." For she lies on a ridge at the mouth 
of the Merrimac, and at the extremity of that long 
line of the Essex beaches, which are unrivalled for 
their splendor of scenery and their storied interest — 
a streich of coast beginning with the surge-eaten cliffs 
nf Nahant and ending in the Salisbury sands just 
beyond the Merrimac. 

SALISBURY BEACH Is four miles from Newbury- 
port, from which it is reached by stage during the 
summer. The beach stretches some six miles in 
length between the Merrimac and Hampton rivers, 
and is composed of smooth, hard sand excellently 
adapted for driving. The locality is famous as the 
scene of Whittier's poem, ''The Tent on the Beach." 
On some days in August, each season thousands of 
people from up the country assemble on the beaches, 
enjoy the bathing and listen to speeches on questions 
of the day by leading ])ublic men and famous orators. 

HAMPTON BEACH.— Beyond the Salisbury Sands, on 
the north side of Hampton river, is Hampton Beach, 
the flrst point in New Hampshire. Whittier describes 
the locality in his poem of "The Wreck of River- 
mouth." Hampton Beach is three miles from Hamptou 
station, on- the eastern division, where conveyances 
are in waiting during the season to " Boar's Head," a 
bold bluff sixty or seventy feet in height, which juts 
out into the ocean about a quarter of a mile, and is the 
nucleus around which cluster the hotels and cottages. 
The beach stretches away from Boar's Head on either 
side; on the south, three-quarters of a mile away, is 
Hampton Lower Beach ; on the north the beach ex- 
tends to Little Boar's Head, about three miles dis- 
tant. These beaches are composed mainly of smooth, 
hard sand, which forms, when the tide is out, an ex- 
cellent driveway ; they are also excellently adapted for 
bathing, on account of their smoothness and the 
absence of undertow, while there is a fine surf. From 
its highest elevation, which is towards the sea, the 
Boar's Head slopes gradually to the level of the shore. 
Several of the hotels are built on this slope. Along 
the line of these bi aches the most of the hotels and 
residences are built on a strip of land which inter- 
venes between extensive salt marshes and the ocean. 



BOSTON H A KBOK— BOSTON TO PORTLAND

RYEi BEACH.— Just beyond Hampton is Eye Beacb. 
the most fashionable resort on the New Hampshire 
coast. It is reached by a drive of four miles by stage 
from North Hampton station, on the eastern division, 
or from Portsmouth by a drive of seven miles. Here 
are a number of small beaches alteruatiuij with wave- 
worn ledges, while to the north a long, sandy beach 
stretches to Straw Point. A delightful surf rolls in, 
and the bathing is safe and pleasant. From Eye and 
Hampton beaches can be seen the Isles of Shoals. 

PORTSMOUTH is another of the old New England 
seaport towns. When tlii- (■.niini \ \\,i- :i > niunicrcial 
nation it was the chief town of i li. Si:ii, . .m it is now 
the fifth. It has a deeii and coiiiuiuilioiis liai-l)(>r whicli 
iscapableof sheltering 2,000 vessels. A I'nitcil Stal.-s 
Navy Yard is located across the Piscatanua in Kittery. 
It contains the grand old frigate Constitutiuu, which 
won the first naval victory over the British in the War 
of 1812. The city is now much frequented as a sum- 
mer resort. Among its local attractions are New- 
castle, an ancient village on Great Island. On Littk' 
Harbor, near Newcastle, is Hotel Wentworth, one of 
the largest summer hotels iu the country. 

ISLES OF SHOALS.— At the mouth of the Piscataqua , 
about nine miles from Portsmouth, are eight small 
islands— part of them in Maine and part in New 
Hampshire — known as the Isles of Shoals. They are 
rugged rocky ledges, risiug abruptly out of the water. 
In olden time they were a rendezvous for pirates, ami 
th3y have been the scene during recent years of sev- 



eral sensational murders. Two of the group, Apple- 
dore and Star Islands, contain commodious i 
hotels

^^■^^^IIK State of Maine abounds in licaiitifnl 
^^\^ scenery, both by tlie sea and inland, 
m I and no region has more attractions 

^^ I than the city of Portland and its 

^^^^^^ neighborhood. Portland is situated at 
^^^^ the south-west extremity of Casco Bay, 
on a peninsula which projects from 
the mainland in a north-east direction, and is about 
three miles long, with an average breadth of three- 
quarters of a mile — its narrowest point being scarcely 
half a mile in width. On the southerly side it is di- 
vided from the Cape Elizabeth shore by an arm of the 



li.ay, called Fore Uiver, which constitutes the inner 
harbor, having, between Portland Bridge and the 
Breakwater on one side and Fish Point on the other, 
an area of six hundred and seventy-seven acres, and 
an average depth, at mean high water, of about thirl y 
feet. Portland has one of the deepest, most com- 
modious and safest harbors in America. Vessels of 
the largest size can enter the lower harbor, day or 
night, with forty feet of water at low tide, and lie 
safely at anchor in that depth. 

On the northerly side the peninsula is separated 
from the shores of Deering by the waters of Back 



PORTLAND AND THE HARBOR.

Cove — an inner basin of large extent, having a suffi- 
cient deptii of water, at high tide, to float vessels of 
considerable tonnage. 

The peninsula, therefore, has tide water on either 
hand, and its shores slope up gradually on both sides 
10 a mean central elevation of more than a hundred 
feet— thus afl'ording every facility for drainage, and 
contributing to make Portland one of the healthiest 
cities in the world. At its north-eastern extremity the 
peninsula rises into an eminence called Munjoy Hill, 
having an elevation of 1G.5 feet, and commanding a 
delightful view of the waters of Casco Bay, its green 
islands, and the ocean beyond. At its south-western 
end the land also rises into a prominence, ending with a 
bold bluff, called Bramhall Hill, having a height of 175 
feet, and affording an extensive view of farm, forest, 
village and mountain scenery — best seen at sunset. 

The whole peninsula, from the slopes of Munjoy 
to the brow of Bramhall, is covered with a network 
of streets, lanes and courts, aggregating a length of 
fifty miles, while thirty wharves extend into the har- 
bor and give accommodation to the commerce of the 
port. 

From east to west the city may be divided into sev- 
eral distinct districts, as follows: Munjoy's Hill is 
covered with an almost distinct and independent vil- 
lage of middle-class residences, having its own 
churches, schools and shops. The business of the 
city centres on the southerly slope, below Congress 
street, near the middle of the peninsula. The north- 
erly slope, back of Congress street, along its whole 
length, is devoted to private residences. The western 
end rises gradually to the eminence of Bramhall, is 
the fashionable quarter, and having been spared by the 
great (Ire of 18C(;, now contains the oldest mansions, 
as well as many of the newest and most elegant resi- 
dences. The streets here are all shaded l)y stately 
elms, and the houses are surrounded l)y well-kept gar- 



hi 



dens and lawns. From the elevation 
of its site and the character of its 
surroundings, Portland commands 
scenery of the most varied and beau- 
tiful description. 

Portland is easily accessible either 
by land orwater. The lines of the Bos- 
ton and Maine Railroad approach from 
the south, while those of the Maine 
Central and the Grand Trunk reach 
out to the north and west. Two lines 
of steamers ply between Portland and 
Boston — The Portland Steam Packet 
Company and the International Steam- 
ship Company, the vessels of the lat- 
* ter also running to St. John and 
i Eastport. The steamers of the Maine 
Steamship Company make three trips 
^_ a week between New York and Port- 

land, calling at Cottage City each way. 
Portland may with justice be said to 
be the starting point for all excursions 
into the woods of Maine, or to the 
resorts along the coast, as all the rail- 
roads converge here, and steamboats run to every 
important port. The nearer islands of Casco Bay are 
reached by the steamers of the Casco Bay Steamboat 
Company and those of Greenwood Garden and Cush- 
ing's Island Steamboat Company, while the more re- 
mote islands, the peninsulas and the ports and resorts 
on the shores of the bay arc visited by vessels of the 
Portland and Boothbay Steamboat Company, the 
Ilarpswell Steamboat Company and the Freeport 
Steamboat Company. Bar Harbor and other ports on 
Mt. Desert, and ports as far east as Machiasport, 
are reached by the Portland, Mt. Desert and Ma- 
chiasport Steamboat Company. 

CASCO BAY.— On the coast of Maine extending from 
Cape Elizabeth to Cape Small Point, a distance of 
about eighteen miles, with a depth of about twelve 
miles, is Casco Bay, which is more thickly studded 
with islands than any water of like extent on the 
Atlantic coast. The islands are of picturesque forms, 
with elevated, rocky and precipitous coasts and un-

like the islands which some cities boast of — arid 
and treeless — Casco's Isles are forest-crowned, 
■with a primeval growth of pines and other Northern 
woods, while those in the vicinity of Portland have 
been made more beautiful Ijy the art of man. Long- 
fellow calls them : 

" The islands that were the Hcsperides 
Of all my boyish dreams." 

These islands are much resorted to by the people of 
Western Maine, and they aft'ord facilities for every 
sport and amusement. 

CUSHING'S ISLAND Cnshing's Island lies at the 

mouth of Portla\id Harbor, its southern end forming 
one shore of the ship channel which is the main en- 
trance to the harbor. It has the most bold and 
prominent features of all the islands in the bay. 
Rising to a considerable altitude, its south-eastern 
shore presents a rocky and precipitous front to the 
sea, terminating at the north-eastern end in a castel- 
lated bluff of perpendicular rock nearly one hundred 
and fifty feet high, known as White Head. 

PEAKS ISLAND.— Peaks Island lies partly inside of 
Ciishing's Island from which it is separated by White 
Head Passage. Together with Cushing's Island it 
forms an effectual barrier against the waves of the 
ocean, which would otherwise beat in up to the 
wharves of the city. It is surrounded by four islands 
—Cushing's, House, Hog (or Diamond) and Long— and 
with them forms a beautiful and safe harbor for 
thousands of vessels annually seeking its protection. 
It is about one and a half miles long, by a mile and a 
quarter wide, at the widest part, and contains seven 
hundred and twenty acres. Peaks Island is quite 
populous, and is dotted with numerous summer 
dwellings, hotels and cottages. 



Bar Haubor, Maini".. 

HARPSWELL NECK is a narrow strip of laud ex- 
tending ten miles from Brunswick. Upon it are 
several resorts which are becoming favorite stopping 
places for New York and Philadelphia people. They 
have several hotels, and are reached from Portland 
by a regular line of steamers. 

MOUNT DESERT.— Just off the coast of Maine, 110 
miles east from Portland and forty miles south-east of 
Bangor, lies the island of Mount Desert, remarkable 
for its rare combination of mountain, lake and sea- 
roast scenery, and now famous as a summer resort. 
The island is fourteen miles long, eight miles across 
at the widest part, and covers an area of about one 
hundred square miles. 

The name of the island is very appropriate, as it 
indicates clearly its natural features and character. 
Towering in its highest peak to more than fifteen 
hundred feet above the sea, the island is in fact a 
group of mountains rising out of the ocean. 

Mount Desert has several good harbors, the best 
known of which are Northeast, Southwest and Bar 
Harbor. Southwest Harbor is on the southern part 
of the island near the entrance to Somes Sound, and 
the village with its half-dozen hotels lies close along 
the shore, facing eastward, while on several com- 
manding points in the neighborhood, summer resi- 
dences have been built. At the head of the sound is 
the small village of Somesville, with its hotels. 

BAR HARBOR.— The principal resort on Mount 
Desert is Bar Harbor, which is situated on French- 
man's Bay on the north-eastern shore, opposite the 
Porcupine Islands and derives it name from a Sandy 
bar, visible at low water, which here connects Mount 
Desert with the largest of the Porcupine group. The 
village lies scattered along the shore, and wlieu

viewed from the mountains makes a most cliarming 
picture. This resort is the outgrowth of the necessi- 
ties of summer visitors, having been established 
primarily for their entertainment, maintaining its 
existence by means of their patronage, and is now 
one of the most popular and fashional)le summer re- 
sorts in America. The place contains a score of 
large hotels and boarding-houses and many residences 
have been built in the past few years. It is admira- 
bly situated as a centre from which to make excur- 
sions to all interesting localities on the eastern and 
southern shores, and to the mountain peaks, the 
highest of which are but a few miles distant. Bar 
Harbor is reached daily from Boston by two express 
trains which make the distance of 290 miles to Mount 
Desert Ferry in little over nine hours, and then a sail 
of eight miles down Frenchman's Bay lands one at 
Bar Harbor's wharves. Steamers also run direct to 
Bar Harbor from Bangor, Portland and Boston. 



THE ST. SAUVEUR.— In calling attention to this 
popular hotel for the season of 1895, it is only neces- 
sary to say that it will be conducted in the same care- 
ful manner that has commended it to visitors during 
previous years. Many improvements have recently 
been made in and about the house, Among the nota- 
ble changes being the addition of a beautifully fur- 
nished smoking and reading room. The dining-room 
has been newly furnished and in the sleeping apart- 
ments a large number of the very finest beds have 
taken the place of inferior ones. The St. Sauveur is 
beautifully situated on the fashionable boulevard of 
Bar Harbor, surrounded by beautiful lawns, and luis 
an unobstructed view of ocean and mountains. It has 
accommodations for two hundred people, has modern 
conveniences, perfect drainage, electric lights, electric 
bells, gas, elevator, hot and cold baths, fire-places, etc. 
The appointments, service and cuisine will be first 
class in every respect. This hotel has always been

THE PORCUPINE.— This hotel is the only oue con- 
ducted on tlie European plan in Bar Harbor. It is 
situated on Main, " facing Mt. Desert Street," aft'ord- 
ing a full view of all the driving as well as of the 
mountain and ocean scenery. It is only three minutes' 
walk from the steamboat wharf, and but one minute 
from the shore promenade. It is convenient to all 
stores, churches and places of amusement. It is 
first class in all its appointments, being provided 
with passenger elevator, electric lights, steam heat, 
electric bells and telephone, bath rooms on every 
floor, with large clothes closets in every room. The 
sanitary arrangements are perfect. On the roof is an 
elegant promenade, from which the finest views 
obtainable at Bar Harbor can be had. For terms and 
particulars address Chas. R. Bacon, proprietor. Bar 
Harbor, Maine. 



noted for the excellence of its table, and no pains or 
expense will be spared to maintain its high stand- 
ard. The St. Sauveur Annex.— Connected with the 
hotel is a large, handsomely furnished apartment 
house, where rooms may be had en suite, with or 
without private parlors, and where cottage life can 
be enjoyed without its difficulties. The rooms are 
spacious and tastefully furnished, and the beds are of 
the best. Buckboards for the St. Sauveur will be 
found in waiting on the arrival of all .steamers. For 
further particulars as to terms, etc., address Alley 
Brothers, Bar Harbor, Maine. 

THE WEST END.— This commodious hotel, iu past 
years so favorably known to visitors at Bar Harbor, 
has been thoroughly renovated and is now open for 
the season under the management of Mr. Thomas F. 
Sheridan. The situation of the house is delightful.

ISLAND HOUSE, Southwest Harbor.— This house is 
situated near tlie steamboat landing, on the south 
side of Mt. Desert island, facing the ocean, with the 
whole range of mountains, thirteen in number, form- 
ing a semi-circular setting in the rear. In front, the 
cluster of beautiful islands that form and protect the 
harbor, afford a safe and spacious bay for sailing or 
rowing. The facilities for brook, lake or sea Ashing 
are not excelled by any in the world, and all the most 
attractive points of interest, both shore and moun- 
tain, may be reached by easy excursions and pleasant 
drives. Green Mountain Railway is only two and 
one-half hours' ride from the Island House, over a 
fine carriage road. Connected with the house are 
two annexes, from the observatory on the roof of the 
larger of which, is the most raagnittcent view imagin- 



able. The house has been enlarged, newly furnished 
and improved. It is supplied with pure water and 
perfect sewerage. A good bath house is attached. 
The rooms are large and airy. There is daily connec- 
tion with all points by mail, also convenient telegraph 
and telephone connection. For terms and informa- 
tion address the proprietor, H. H. Clark, Southwest 
Harbor, Hancock County, Maine. 

SORRENTO.— Nowhere on the Atlantic coast are 
presented so many and so varied attractions to the 
summer resident as on the rugged and romantic Maine 
coast, and it has already become the summer home of 
the best people from all parts of the country. An 
exceptionally beautiful bit of coast is found at Sor- 
rento, a peninsula seven miles in length and having 
an average width of one and one-half miles, at the 
head of Frenchman's Bay and directly opposite Bar 
Harbor. The scenery at Sorrento is such as can only 
be found on the coast of Maine, and is made up of a 
combination of ocean, Islands, mountains and forests of 
surpassing beauty. During five months of the year 
the climate is most pleasant, being cool during the 
day, while blankets are found comfortable on the 
warmest nights. The air is not harsh or damp, but 
combines the crispness of the mountains and the in- 
vigoration of the seashore. Children thrive remark-

ably, -while the air works woiuiers for sufl'erers from 
nervous exhaustion and the effects of hot weather at 
home. Sufferers from hay fever are nearly always 
relieved at once. The purest of water, perfect drain- 
age, every modern convenience, absence of disease of 
any kind, with the balm-laden l^reezes render Sorrento 
a paradise for the sick, a haven for all seeking rest. 
Among the attractions are the yachts, all clubs 
making Frenchman's a rendezvous during the eastern 
cruise, with regattas usually during .Tuly and August, 
and the annual visit of some portion of the United 
States navy, when every courtesy is shown to visitors 
by the officers and seamen. The Sorrento Tennis 
Cup.— This prize is ofl'ered by Mrs. W. F. Cochran, 
of Yonkers, N. Y., and is valued at $.500. It will 
be awarded to the winning player in three consecu- 
tive years. 

HOTEL SORRENTO. -The Hotel Sorrento, owned 
by the Frenchman's Bay Land Co., is charmingly sit- 
uated upon an eminence overlooking the steamer 
landing, the bay and the ocean, and is supplied with 
all modern conveniences, including a fine billiard 
room and bowling alley. A complete system of fire 
escapes has recently been added to the equipment. 
The hotel Is under the management of the lessee, 
Mr. Frank M. Lowe, to whom applications for 
accommodations for terms should be addressed. The 
success of Sorrento as a summer resort is due to 
the enterprise of tlie Frenchman's Bay Land and 
Water Co. The company has now a large number of 
choice building lots, which they offer at reasonable 
prices, with proper restrictions as to buildings, etc. 
Without predicting unparalleled results, the company 
lielieves in its entire success, knowing that Sorrento, 
in beauty of location and natural advantages, is 
the equal, if not the superior, of any other sum- 
mer resort on the coast. Full information as to the 
property will be furnished, together with maps show- 
ing survey of lots, streets, etc. Also illustrated cir- 
culars and full particulars as to prices of lots now 
ofl'ered for sale, upon application to W. H. Lawrence, 
Supt., Frenchman's Bay and Mt. Desert Land and 
Water Co., Sorrento, Me. 

THE MAINE COAST.— From Portland to Eastport 
the coast of Maine abounds with most beautiful and 
unusual scenery, and this is more especially true of 
the region beyond Mount Desert. The shores are 
rugged, rocky, precipitous and forest-crowned — great 
peninsulas project into the sea with deep fiords be- 
tween, and innumerable islands are scattered alonu' 
the coast. 

Near the mouth of the Kennebec river, an hour and 
a half by rail eastward from I'ortland, is the pleasant 
old seaside city of Bath. Popham Beach is a summer 
resort at the mouth of the Keuneljec, and is just out- 
side the limits of Casco Bay. 

Thirty miles beyond Bath is the gray old lishiug 
village of Boothbay, which lies at the head of one of 
the finest harbors on the coast. Squirrel Island, a 
beautiful place with many residences, and a number of 
other summer resorts on islands and mainlands are in 
the vicinity of Uootlibay. 



Penobscot Bay deserves more spiice than can be 
given to it here. It is one of the most beautiful 
regions not only on the Maine coast, but in the world. 
On its shores are the city of Rockland, the lovely 
town of Camden, abounding with mountains and lakes ; 
Northport, a great camp-meeting resort; the pretty 
village of Castine, with its historic fame perpetuated 
in the poems of Whittier and LongfelloM', and in the 
prose of Noah Brooks. The island resorts of the 
Penobscot are many and beautiful, chief among them 
being Vinal Haven, Islesborough, Isle au Haut, and 
Deer Isle, with its hundreds of visitors every simi- 
roer. 

The farthest away region of the Maine coast is 
Passaraaquoddy Bay which marks the division be- 
tween the United States and Canada. Some of its 
islands are under one jurisdiction and some under the 
other. The summer headquarters of this region is 
the Canadian port of St. Andrews, which is situated 
on a peninsula projecting into the middle of the bay. 
From it there is easy access to Campobello, Lubec. 
Grand Menan, St. George and other interesting points. 
Eastport is an American village of 3,700 inhabitants, 
on Moose Island near the mouth of the bay. 

Besides steamship lines that run between Portland, 
New York and Boston, communication is maintained 
between Boston and other important Maine ports, and 
in addition there are a number of local steamboat 
lines that aff'ord opportunity to reach any portion of 
the coast. The vessels of the Kennebec Steamboat 
Company run from Boston to Bath, Augusta and 
other ports on the Kennebec River. The steamers of 
the Boston and Bangor Steamship Company ply be- 
tween Boston, Rockland, Camden. Bar Harbor and 
other ports on Mt. Desert and the adjacent coast. 
Steamers also run between Bangor and Bar Harbor. 
Rockland and Bar Harbor, Rockland and Vinal Haven, 
Rockland and Ellsworth, Bath and Boothbay, .\ugusta 
and Bath, ,and Calais and Eastport. 

ST. JOHN. — A sail of three-and-a-half hours up the 
Bay of Fundy, from Eastport, on an International 
line steamer, brings the tourist to St. .lohn, the me- 
tropolis of New Brunswick, and the largest city in 
the Eastern Provinces. The city, with its inmiediate 
suburbs, contains a population of .lO.OOO. Its harbor 
is deep and capacious, and it enjoys a large commerce. 
It has several good hotels, and is a central point for 
summer pleasure seekers. 

THE RESTIGOUCHE.— Taking the Intercolonial 
Railway across New Brunswick, through the import- 
ant towns of Susse.x, Petticodias and Salisbury to 
Moncton — a busy railway town — thence north, within 
view of the great Gulf of St. Lawrence, through 
Chatham Junction, Newcastle and Bathhurst, past a 
region rich in scenery and a paradise for sportsmen, 
aljounding in trout, bass and salmon, and whose 
forests contain the bear and the carabou, the tout ist 
reaches the far-famed Restigouche, which empties 
into the Bale Des Chaleurs. Here forty-ponnd sal- 
mon lurk to test the sportsman's skill, and one Resti- 
gouche salmon even weighed fifty-four pounds. Sal- 
mon fishing lasts from tlie ;!Othof .Vjiril until the 31 st

of August, aud thousauds of tourists, incUidiiiij many 
of the fair sex, annually visit this region. Trout are 
abundant in all the lakes, rivers and estuaries along 
the line of railway, and the fishing is free from .Janu- 
ary to October. 

PRINCE EDWARD'S ISLAND — A large and popu- 
lous island ofl' the New Brunswick coast can be 
reached by steamer from Point Du Cheue— ten miles 
from Moncton, on the Internation Railway. Steamers 
leave Point Du Chene daily for Summerside, where 
the Prince Edward's Island Railway is taken for Char- 
lottetown, the capital, and other points on this quaint 
section of the Western Hemisphere. 

CAPE BRETON.— Trains can be taken at Pictou for 
Port Mulgrave, at the Strait of Canso. Across this 
strait— a mile in width — is the large island of Cape 
Breton. This island, which has an area of 3000 square 
miles and a population of about 33,000, has iuex- 
haiistibk' mines of coal, which are supposed to ex- 
tend in one continuous vein one hundred and fifty 
miles to the Pictou mines. Coal can be obtained 
almost anywhere on the island by digging a few feet 
below the surface, and many families have natural 
coal bins in their cellars. Many rare and curious 
fossils are found on this island. At a point on the 
southeast shore are the ruins of Louisburg, the 
famous French fortress of Colonial days. The build- 



ing of this French stronghold cost Louis XV. thirty 
million livres. Its walls were thirty feet high and 
forty feet thick, and it was surrounded by a ditch 
eighty feet wide. The French deemed it impregna- 
ble. Yet it was captured, in 174.5, by an army of raw 
New England militia. The old ruins and the histori- 
cal associations connected therewith, make this spot a 
most interesting one to tourists. 

NOVA SCOTIA.— There are many points of interest 
in Nova Scotia. Halifax, the capital, a city of 40,000 
inhabitants, is a great British fortress and naval sta- 
tion. The British maintain a garrison here, and it is 
the headquarters of their North .Atlantic squadron. 
Annapolis, on the Bay of Fundy, is the oldest Euro- 
pean settlement in America, north of Florida. It was 
formerly known as Port Royal, and was once a strong 
French fortress. Aiout two centuries ago an array 
of New Englanders, under Sir William Phlpps, 
attempted to take It, but were unsuccessfnl, after a 
long siege. This section of the province was known 
as Acadia by the French, and was inhabited by a 
peaceful peasantry. After the colony was con- 
quered by the English, thousands of these inofl'ensive 
people were torn from their homes and removed to 
New England, some of them to Rhode Island. Tour- 
ists are fond of searching this region for traces of 
these ill-fated Acadians.

ro HE Fouxu in a Summer Outing ix Nova Scotia, Cape 
Healthful Climate, Grand Scenery and Modbeate Hotel 



The new summer resorts of Nova Scotia, Cape 
Breton and Prince Edward's Island are justly attract- 
ing the attention of large numbers of Americans as 
desirable places in which to spend their summer out- 
ing, and each year shows a decided increase in the 
nnii.lier r-;!iTicMl l)y the several transport.ntion com- 
paiiii'S lunnin;; 10 those points. Too many people 
fail to take their recreation as they should; they 
actually have more excitement, more anxiety of mind 
and more running to and fro than they have while 
pnrsuing their every-day vocations. This is especially 
so when they seek crowded resorts, where the con- 
stant whirl of excitement has a tendancy to run down 
the system instead of renewing and building it up. as 
properly regulated recreation would do. It is bo- 
cause they have not yet become crowded that the 
Provincial resorts arc so much in favor with American 
tourists. In these Provinces there is room for thous- 
ands of tourists without fear of jostling elbows. 
Everywhere there is grand scenery, excellent fishing, 
l)oating and bathing facilities, an atmosphere free 
from malaria, cool nights, days that are seldom ex- 
cessively hot, hotel bills are moderate, and they can 
be reached in a little over twenty-four hours from 
Boston, (only one night at sea) by a delightful and 
invigorating sea voyage. 

The tours arranged through these delightful coun- 
tries, where nature has been so lavish of her gifts that 
art is scarcely missed at all, are quite numerous, and 
each has attractions to offer which are dirt'erent from 



the rest. If one only makes the round trip to Halifax 
or Charlottetown, they will have seen much that is 
strange and grand and beautiful. The rock-bound 
southern coast of Nova Scotia, along which the 
steamer skirts en route to Halifax or Charlottetown, 
has been likened to that of Norway, and is broken 
frequently by broad bays and harbors, with high 
vendure-clad hills, prosperous looking farms and 
numerous white cottaged hamlets. The clear. Iiracins 
air, which is a combination of the breath of old ocean 
and the aroma of the sweet-smelling gums and balsams 
of the thickly growing spruce and pine trees on the 
hilltops, is sufficient to excite an appetite that would 
cause a dyspeptic to sigh in anticipation of such 
a trip. 

THE CANADA, ATLANTIC AND PLANT STEAM- 
SHIP LINE, the only one running ljct\vccn eastern 
Nova Scotia, Cape Breton and Prince Edward's Island, 
and Boston, outlines some two dozen summer tours 
in its attractive folder, which have been carefully ar- 
r.anged with a view of suiting all kinds and conditions 
of travelers. One can take a cheap tour or an ex- 
pensive one; he can see all that Europe, or British 
Columbia, or Colorado, or California has to show in 
the way of scenery, and at less than quarter of the 
cost, and he will lie pleased to discover that he has 
IravcU-d ill ;i country the chief occupation of whose iu- 
haliiliints i^ not lo see how much money they can filch 
out of their suiiiiner visitors. An advertisement in

the firm of James Sexton & Son. Mr. Sexton was born in 
Long Island City, X. Y., July 26, 1866, and came to Bridge- 
port, when quite young with his parents. After his school 
days he entered the cabinet department of the Wheeler & 
Wilson .Sewing ]\Iachme Co., where he remained about one 
year : but his natural abilities 
were inclined to stone cutting, 
and in 1S83 he apprenticed 
himself in that business under 
the tuition of his father. 

Upon finishing his trade he 
entered into business with his 
father and brother, under the 
firm name of James Sexton &

purchased the interest of his 
brother, Michael. In iSqi,

people were present to greet the worthy representative 
of the Pope. In receiving him Mr. Se.xton kissed his
